Day 2: Gorilla Habituation Experience in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

• Early breakfast: Enjoy an early breakfast at your lodge to prepare for the day’s adventure.
• Gorilla habituation briefing: Arrive at the park headquarters for a briefing by park rangers. The gorilla habituation experience allows you to join researchers and rangers as they work with a group of gorillas that are being habituated to human presence.
• Gorilla habituation trek: Trek through the forest to locate the gorillas, a journey that may take several hours depending on the gorillas' movements. Once you reach the gorilla family, you’ll spend up to 4 hours observing their behavior and interactions. This extended time allows for a more in-depth experience than standard trekking, offering a rare opportunity to be part of the gorilla conservation process.
• Return to Kigali: After the habituation experience, return to your lodge for lunch. Then, begin your journey back to Kigali, where you’ll be dropped off at Kigali International Airport or your hotel, marking the end of your two-day adventure.
