Unlike the usual tracking, the primates we sighted are not accustomed to receiving visitors, as these animals take an average of two years to adapt to the presence of humans in their surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied by experts, we spent 4 hours following this family of gorillas, with the mission of helping them to understand and accept the presence of people in their environment. This exclusive and novel experience may be a bit more physically demanding, but it offers us the opportunity to live a unique adventure, until now reserved for researchers and rangers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14321 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min.png\" alt=\"Uganda: habituaci\u00f3n con gorilas durante 4 horas\" width=\"1000\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min.png 1000w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-765x528.png 765w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-788x544.png 788w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-768x530.png 768w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-716x494.png 716w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-395x273.png 395w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/gorila2-min-600x414.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Donde la solidaridad y el deporte de unen<\/h2>\n<p>Something more than an adventure; a unique cultural immersion, a transforming experience for the body and spirit and a learning experience of solidarity is what we will experience near the Masai Mara Reserve, in Kenya, in the month of December.<\/p>\n<p>In order to help change the future of Maasai girls and their protection against radical practices, we will have the opportunity to participate in a half marathon (21.5 km) for the fight for girls&#8217; rights.
