Kahungye mountain gorilla family is found in the Rushaga sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The family was opened for gorilla trekking in October 2011, and within just 12 months, the group split, forming the Busingye mountain gorilla family.
The group gets its name from Kahungye Hills in the Rushaga sector, where they were first spotted by rangers. The family is led by the silverback Rumanzi, along with Rwigi and Ruhamuka. At the time of habituation, the group had 27 members but later split to create a new gorilla family called the Busingye gorilla group.
Kahungye mountain gorilla family now consists of 17 members, including 3 silverbacks, 3 blackbacks, 3 adult females, 3 sub-adults, 3 juveniles, and 2 infants. It should be noted that the number of gorilla family members keeps changing due to splits, new members joining, deaths, or new births.
