It’s essential to note that habituation permits are exclusively reserved for those who have booked and confirmed comprehensive gorilla safari packages through us. We specialize in tailoring safari packages, offering a variety of options on our website, allowing you to choose experiences that align with your preferences. Whether your journey begins in Kigali or Entebbe, we cater to your individual needs, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable gorilla habituation safari.
To partake in the gorilla habituation experience, one must obtain a gorilla habituation permit, a requirement for this exclusive activity conducted solely in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park’s Rushaga gorilla region. The experience is limited to a maximum of four individuals who have the rare opportunity to visit semi-habituated mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Currently, the Bikingi gorilla family, consisting of 14 members, is available for habituation experiences, allowing tourists to accompany researchers in their day-to-day work.
Booking gorilla habituation experience permits is a meticulous process handled by Trek Africa Expeditions. To initiate the booking process, contact us with your intended date for the gorilla habituation experience. Once we receive this information, our team engages with Uganda Wildlife Authority to check permit availability. It’s advisable to book habituation permits at least three months in advance of the trekking date. Upon confirmation of availability, we’ll send you an invoice for the permit cost, set at $1500 per person per experience. This fee covers a four-hour encounter with mountain gorillas, inclusive of guides and park entry fees. After receiving the payment, we promptly secure your permits and provide scanned copies for your records.
Trek Africa Expeditions offers flexibility in crafting your gorilla habituation safari. We not only guarantee your habituation permits but also facilitate a seamless and personalized experience.
