FAQs

Gorilla habituation is done in the rushaga sector of Bwindi impenetrable forest. This activity takes up to 4 hours as you study the gorillas with other scientist.

Humans are allowed a safe distance of up to 7 meters to protect and prevent spreading diseases from humans to the gorillas.

If a gorilla comes closer to you just stay calm and he will pass by. They are habituated and are used to human presence and less likely to harm you.

Three countries are home to mountain gorillas; Uganda, Rwanda and DRC. Uganda is home to half of world's population of mountain gorillas and gorilla permits in Uganda are half the price of Rwanda's. Though prices in DRC are the lowest, there are security concerns.
