10 Days Chimpanzee & Gorilla Habituation Experience

10 Days Chimpanzee

Our 10 day chimpanzee and gorilla habituation experience rewards you with the opportunity of staying a little longer with both the chimpanzees and gorillas. These 10 days of chimpanzee and gorilla habitat take you through Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi impenetrable forest national parks. During the Chimpanzee Habituation Experience (CHEX), tourists are allowed to actively participate as wild chimpanzees get used to human presence. Gorilla Habituation Experience (GHEX) refers to the process of introducing mountain gorillas to the presence of humans. These are some of the most rewarding and exciting activities one should not miss in a lifetime.

A must-do not miss is also a boat cruise to the bottom of the falls in Murchison Falls National Park, where a thunderous water roar plunges into a 7-meter gorge, as well as a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where you are rewarded with opportunities to see a lot of animals that come out of the bushes to quench their thirst.
