Mountain Gorilla Habituation is an amazing experience of preparing the mountain gorillas to get used to the presence of human beings and observing every little detail about their behavior from morning time until they go to bed. The experience is definitely worth it and this particular 3 days trip will make this mystery a reality to your eyes with a 4 hours encounter with these relatives of us in the forest.
