Umubano Gorilla Group.

There are ten habituated gorilla groups in Rwanda Volcano National Park, including the Umubano Gorilla Group. One of the three nations with mountain gorillas in the world is Rwanda.

The mountain gorillas, an endangered species, inhabit the jungle in Rwanda’s northwest park. The drive from Kigali International Airport takes two hours.

With three volcanoes—Karisimbi, Bisoke, and Mikeno—Volcanoes National Park is situated in the Virungas.
There are an estimated 400 mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park, and roughly 300 of them live on the park’s moderate slopes through forests.

The Umubano gorilla group is one of the habituated mountain gorillas; eight trekkers visit this family each day, with the expectation that they will only spend an hour with them.

The term “living together” is a local term from whence the word “Umubano” originates. Because of the ongoing conflict between Charles and Ubumwe—the two Silverbacks could never agree on a ruling—this family split apart from Ubumwe.

As he developed into a Silverback, this made Charles unable to tolerate being guided and instructed by Ubumwe.
He made the decision to start a conflict, which lasted for months and weeks. which resulted in Charles succeeding in his separation from some family members, thereby creating the Umubano family.

He has praised the organization and remained in charge ever since. Since the conclusion of the Great Battle of Separation, the group has been observed socializing amongst silverbacks, although no fights have been witnessed.

There are 13 people in this group, including three adults, their young, one blackback, and one silverback. The trip, which takes between thirty minutes and three hours to see this family, is conducted by Umubano, a protective leader.

Observe them from a distance of seven meters while they go about their daily activities, such as playing, feeding, and grooming one another.

Make reservations in advance for a unique gorilla safari in Rwanda and enjoy a breathtaking encounter with one of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas.
