Kutu gorilla family under habituation.
Now habituated are the Kutu gorillas of Rushaga, which are situated in the southern region of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Katland safaris offers a Kutu gorilla group for those who are interested in gorilla habituation experiences.
There are eight members of the Kutu gorilla family, including one dominant silverback, according to credible sources from the Rushaga section of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. With the addition of the Kutu gorilla family now under habituation, Uganda will have the most habituated mountain gorillas in Africa and the globe once the project is finished.
Knowledge on the Kutu gorilla group as it pertains to habituation
It is in the Rushaga area of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park that habituated Kutu gorillas live. A troop of eight Kutu gorillas is led by a dominant silverback. Get in touch with Katland safaris to book a gorilla habituation encounter with this particular troop.
The Habituation Experience of Other Gorilla Families
The Uganda Wildlife Authority set aside two groups of gorillas specifically for the purpose of habituation. You may reach Bikingi and Bushawo by Nkuringo and Rushaga at Rubugiri; these are the areas where gorillas have been habituated.
According to Bwindi, the Bushawo gorilla family is now ready for regular mountain gorilla trekking, but the Bikingi and Kutu gorilla families are still adjusting to the four-hour habituation session.
Around four hours spent acclimating to Bwindi’s gorillas
