Gorilla Habituation Experience In Uganda : Uganda’s single most important tourist hotspot is the 331 km2 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which protects a rugged land scape of steep hills and valleys abutting the Congolese border south of Ishasha and north of Kisoro. Rolling eastwards from the Albertine Rift Escarpment, the tangled forested slopes of Bwindi provide shelter to one of Africa’s most diverse mammalian faunas, including 45% of the global mountain gorilla population. Today there are 18 habituated mountain gorilla groups are active for tracking in Bwindi, a thrilling expedition regarded by most who have undertaken it to be a truly once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

The cost of the Gorilla habituation encounter is US$ 1500 per person per specific day. The experience offers a more relaxed and enriching encounter with the gorillas, you’ll feel less rushed and you will have more time to fully appreciate this amazing wildlife encounter.
