Exciting news for the gorilla population in Uganda…
A newly habituated gorilla family with 30 members was launched for tourism on September 24, 2009. Christened the Nshongi group, the family is located in Rushaga on the southwestern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
This is the largest group for tourism in the country and is expected to boost Uganda’s gorilla tourism capacity.
The launch was a big event with some world class celebrities attending the occasion along with other key Uganda government officials.

Tucked away in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp was recently host to some unexpected visitors. One of our guests at camp fell sick and had to forsake his long awaited dream of gorilla tracking. Fortunately, the gorillas decided to visit the camp while the guest was recovering and he was privileged to view the gorillas for much longer and with a much clearer view than those who went tracking. This once in a lifetime experience highlights why Sanctuary Retreats place such importance in having the right locations for our safari camps and lodges in Africa.
