Twenty kinds of primate. One forest holds thirteen.
Mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys, in a single country.
Eye to eye with a mountain gorilla, on foot.
Nearly half the world’s mountain gorillas live in this one green country, in the forest of Bwindi. You walk in on foot until a wild family lets you come close, close enough to watch a mother hold her child and to hear a silverback breathe. They look back at you, unhurried, with the eyes of a cousin. Only three countries on Earth will ever give you this.
Our closest cousin, in the forest of Kibale.
Uganda is home to around 5,000 chimpanzees. Track them in Kibale, in the Budongo forest, or down in the Kyambura gorge, a sunken green world inside Queen Elizabeth park. You hear them long before you see them.
Gold against green, in the bamboo.
High on the Virunga volcanoes lives the golden monkey, its coat a bright orange-gold. In Uganda there is one place to meet them, Mgahinga, where they move in troops led by a single male, and belong to almost nowhere else on Earth.
