Mid Range
On a mountain gorilla habituation activity, gorillas are trained to get used to human presence over a period of three years and from there the groups are declared for normal tracking. Currently there are two families of Bushaho and Bikyingi being trained for this experience and to be officially launched soon for tracking. Gorilla habituation is only carried out in the Southern Sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Rushaga area). It is strictly four visitors per day for each family, a total of eight visitors. Our gorilla habituation package is all inclusive and we take care of the habituation permit reservations.
From USD 2,794 per person
A representative from Barien Safaris will pick you up from your accommodation at 7am, brief you about your habituation safari and then you set off to Bwindi.
