The Nkuringo Gorilla family has got 19 members including 2 silverbucks and it’s located in Nkuringo Area. Nkuringo is a local word meaning a round hill and it’s from the Rukiga language that refers to the hill where the group was first sighted and launched in 2004 after the 2 year habituation process. One of the main reasons for the habituation was their venture into the local communities’ gardens feeding on the bananas, sweet potatoes and many other crops. The community benefits from Tourism and it formed a protection for the gorillas as well as. This family was led by one silverback Nkuringo who died in April 2008 and left 2 silverback’s safari and Rafiki. Tracking this group takes a bit stamina and energy. It’s the toughest trek in Uganda.
