Very rare and elusive, tracking the golden monkey in Uganda can be quite interesting and adventurous. Golden monkey tracking can either be done in Uganda, or in Rwanda.

Mgahinga gorilla national park in western Uganda is the perfect place to go tracking golden monkeys. The bamboo forests of Mgahinga provide a much appreciated habitat for these endangered creatures. Tracking golden monkeys is not as popular as tracking gorillas but it is exciting all the same. The Virunga volcanoes provide a very scenic backdrop for golden monkey tracking.
