Golden Monkey Tracking in Uganda and Rwanda
Golden monkey tracking is energetic, colourful and usually easier to combine with a gorilla trip because the experience takes place in the same broader Virunga highlands. The monkeys move quickly through bamboo and can be excellent for travellers who enjoy primate photography. It works well as a second activity after gorilla trekking or as part of a wider Uganda and Rwanda itinerary.
