Day 3: Gorilla Habituation Experience – Full Day with the Gentle Giants
Today marks the highlight of your adventure — the Gorilla Habituation Experience. After an early breakfast, head to the park headquarters for a briefing by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Unlike standard gorilla trekking, this exclusive activity allows you to spend up to four hours with a semi-habituated gorilla family as researchers and trackers gradually acclimate them to human presence.
The trek may take several hours through dense forest and steep terrain, but the reward is extraordinary. You’ll have ample time to observe the gorillas’ behavior, take photos, and gain deeper insight into their lives and conservation efforts.
Return to your lodge in the afternoon to relax, enjoy a massage, and celebrate your incredible experience with a sundowner overlooking the misty forest.
