The Busingye Gorilla Family in Rushaga area is a splinter group from the Kahungye Gorilla Group – an event that happened in August of 2012. At the last check the group consisted of 9 members, I silverback and among them were three infants and what is called a sub-adult – gorilla teen.
This new group has created some excitement in Internet forums since it is a new group open for tracking. Presently the group is being observed whether there are any signs of a return to the Kahungye Gorilla Group and it seems there is too much bad blood and no sign of reconciliation. Meaning 8 more permits in the Rushaga Area of the park. Again due to the fluidity of the situation, at the present time permits for the Busingye Gorilla Group are being handled at the local Uganda Wildlife Authority Office in Rushaga – that will most like change in the near future and we will update it here.
