Day 3Gorilla Habituation

Wake up before dawn, have an early breakfast, and set off accompanied by park rangers, researchers, and trackers to find a semi-habituated gorilla family that is still being accustomed to human presence.

Unlike a standard trek, this immersive experience grants you up to 4 full hours with the gorillas, observing their natural behavior as researchers quietly go about their work of habituating the group. The rangers will interpret the flora and fauna, the gorillas’ lifestyle, and the fascinating habituation process itself.
