PRIMATES
Uganda is one of the only three countries in the world to be home both to mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. But that's not all, Uganda is host to a total of 24 different species of primates, making it one of the most attractive destinations for primates. Come and meet them!
Mountain Gorillas
With only around 1000 individuals left worldwide, half of which are in Uganda, mountain gorillas (gorilla beringei beringei) are declared critically endangered since 1996 but are the only great ape whose population is currently growing, largely thanks to tourism that provides funding for the conservation of their habitat.
