Busingye Gorilla Group – Unique Encounters in Bwindi’s Rushaga Sector

The Busingye Gorilla Group originates from the Kahungye Group. It was formed due to misunderstandings within the mother group, Kahungye, which led to their separation and the creation of the Busingye group in 2012.

The group is one of five families that inhabit the Rushaga Sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

It consists of nine family members, including 1 silverback, 5 blackbacks, and 3 infants.

Just like the Bweza Gorilla Group, game rangers speculated about a possible reunion between the Busingye Gorilla Group and its mother group, Kahungye, but this did not happen.

It should be noted that the Busingye Gorilla Group is made up of peaceful and lovely members. The trekking route to this family is adorned with breathtaking scenery, including views of the Virunga Mountains and the rolling hills.

Time Taken to Trek Busingye Gorilla Group

It takes roughly 8 hours to trek to reach this family, all other factors being constant.

Important Points to Note

Every visitor is required to be at the park headquarters no later than 7 am for a briefing that lasts about 30 minutes.

Tourists are accompanied by armed game rangers.

Trekking with the amazing Busingye Gorilla Group provides an unforgettable experience and offers a lasting impact, enhanced by interaction with the stunning physical features along the route.
