Go beyond ordinary gorilla trekking and experience Uganda's rare Gorilla Habituation Experience with Nkuruba Community Tours.
This exclusive 4-day Uganda Gorilla Habituation Safari takes you deep into the ancient Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the last strongholds of the endangered mountain gorillas.
Unlike standard gorilla trekking, the habituation experience allows you to spend up to four hours with a semi-habituated gorilla family as researchers, trackers, and conservation teams gradually help them become comfortable with human presence.
Designed by our local Ugandan team, this short but extraordinary safari combines scenic countryside drives, rainforest adventure, conservation learning, and a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with one of the world's most fascinating wildlife species.
Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by the Nkuruba Community Tours team and transferred to your hotel in Entebbe or Kampala.
Take time to relax after your journey while preparing for your upcoming rainforest adventure.
