4 Day Uganda Gorilla Habituation Experience
This 4 Day itinerary takes you to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, starting with a night in Entebbe and ending with departure from Kigali. The Gorilla Habituation Experience is the highlight of this safari, a rare, immersive encounter lasting up to 4 hours with a semi-habituated gorilla family. The magical volcanic hills offer impressive scenery and sightseeing adventures.
Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you will be welcomed to the Pearl of Africa by a Jackal Adventures safari guide, who will give a brief about Uganda and transfer you to your hotel in Entebbe. Check in and relax after your flight, with the rest of the day at leisure to rest and recover before your safari adventure begins.
Accommodation: K. Hotel
Meal Plan: D
After a relaxed breakfast, check out and proceed to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We drive through the volcanic landscape with steep sides to the home of the mountain gorillas. Check in and have a relaxed evening; an early night is recommended, as the habituation experience begins with a very early start and demands good physical fitness.
Accommodation: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge
Meal Plan: B, L, D
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.
Accommodation: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge
Meal Plan: B, L, D
Have a relaxed breakfast at the lodge terrace while enjoying the beautiful forest surroundings before setting off for your return journey to Kigali, Rwanda.
Say goodbye to the Pearl of Africa and Kigali, and many thanks for choosing our company.
