Gorilla Habituation Permits in Uganda

Gorilla habituation experience is among our top priority primate adventures. This primate adventure is only carried out in the Rushaga sector in Southwestern Uganda. The beauty about embarking on mountain gorilla habituation is that you have up to 4 hours to stay with a family of mountain gorillas. This is extremely far away from the normal 1 hour given during the usual gorilla trekking tours.

Embarking on a gorilla trekking tour in Bwindi involves an active trek through the dense rainforest characterized by steep slopes and water streams. But at the end of it all, the long trek adventure brings back the lost hope. Right in the middle of a natural forest, you can closely observe a massive silverback gorilla and its family members. This is eye-striking and mind-blowing. It is during such a moment that your guide allows you to spend an hour face-to-face with these massive creatures.
Bwindi National Park is lying in Southwestern Uganda and holds about 500 mountain gorillas out of the world’s remaining 1063 individuals that are left on the Earth. These survive within the four regions that make up Bwindi including Ruhija, Buhoma, Rushaga, and Nkuringo.

About 24 habituated mountain gorilla groups currently roam in the jungles of Bwindi including the very newly opened families such as Katwe, Christmas, Kyaguriro, Bushaho, Bikingi, and others. The Bwindi gorilla trekking adventure begins with an early morning briefing on the rules and regulations, followed by the allocation of gorilla groups and park ranger guides to lead you.

There is not much difference between these two destinations when it comes to gorilla safaris and our recommendation is to pay a visit to all. This can allow you to make a comprehensive comparison.
What is essential for primate adventure seekers to know is that Rwanda positioned itself as a luxury gorilla trekking destination. Uganda is generally a budget gorilla safari destination.
