It is home to half of the world’s endangered population of mountain gorillas. Looking into the expressive brown eyes of these giants is surely an exciting wildlife encounter Uganda has to offer!
The park also boasts of 90 other mammal species, including 11 primates of which the black and white colobus is prominent plus a big number of bird species. It has four gorilla groups currently and only six persons per group are allowed to visit on daily basis, these strict rules are meant to prevent behavioral disturbances and transmission of diseases.
