Uganda is home to several primate species, but the most sought-after are:
– _Mountain Gorillas_: Found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, these gentle giants are a highlight of any Uganda safari. With only approximately 1,004 individuals remaining in the wild, encountering mountain gorillas is a rare and humbling experience.
– _Chimpanzees_: Kibale Forest National Park is renowned for its chimpanzee population, offering exceptional trekking experiences. With over 1,500 individuals, Kibale boasts the highest concentration of chimpanzees in Africa.
– _Golden Monkeys_: Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is one of the few places to spot these rare and stunning creatures. With their distinctive golden coats, golden monkeys are a sight to behold.
