The golden monkey — a beautiful species with a distinctive gold and black coat — is endemic to the Virunga Mountains of Rwanda, Uganda, and DRC. Just 5,000 remain in the wild.
This half-day trek takes you into the bamboo forests on the lower slopes of the volcanoes. Your experienced tracker locates a habituated troop, and you spend an hour observing their playful acrobatics through the bamboo canopy. It's a perfect complement to gorilla trekking.
