Uganda Gorilla habituation experience allows you to spend 4 hours with the gorillas in the company of park rangers, Gorilla doctors, and researchers. Gorilla habituation is the process through which the wild Gorillas are prepared to get used to human presence, and it takes quite some time before a group can be opened up to the public for Gorilla trekking in Uganda! The Gorilla habituation experience permit costs $1500.
