Bwindi Gorilla Trek

Hi there, I’m planning a gorilla trek in Bwindi, Uganda. I’m torn between the classic option (1 hour with the gorillas) and the habituation trek (4 hours with the gorillas but a more expensive permit). Has anyone done the habituation trek? Both? If so, I’d love to hear your feedback (including on the difficulty). Thanks

Hi.

I’m doing both in early December. Habituation in the Rushaga sector and tracking in the Nkuringo sector.

I don’t know when you’re planning to do it, but for the habituation—which lets you spend more time with the gorillas—just note that only 4 permits are issued per day.

I’ll give you a full update after both trips.
