For travelers seeking a more in-depth and intimate encounter with mountain gorillas, the Gorilla Habituation Experience offers a rare opportunity to spend up to 4 hours with a semi-habituated gorilla family in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Unlike regular gorilla trekking, this experience allows you to join researchers and rangers as they help wild gorillas get used to human presence—a fascinating look behind the scenes of conservation work in action.
