: Golden Monkey Tracking And Transfer To Bwindi Impenetrable For-Est

key tracking experience. This rare species is listed as endangered and there are currently two

troops of the monkeys which have been habituated to be visited by tourists in the park, both of

which number around 80 members. The golden monkeys live in the bamboo vegetation towards

the base of the volcanoes and have overcome their initial shyness to accept their daily visit by

researchers and tourists.

You will trek to find the golden monkeys in a similar way to the gorilla trek - in a small group of

no more than eight people, and you can spend one hour with the monkeys once you find them.

They are very sprightly creatures, and leap from tree to tree which is really entertaining, if a little

difficult to photograph! We recommend setting your camera to a fast shutter-speed to allow for

low light in the dense undergrowth and to better your chances of capturing the golden monkeys

on film! after your tracking, you will drive to the Rwanda and Uganda border at Cyanika and then head

to Bwindi impenetrable forest for two nights.
