The Mishaya gorilla family gets a baby gorilla. March has been a blessed month of 2020 for the tourism and conservation fraternity as the Mishaya gorilla group welcomes its newly born gorilla in the Rushaga gorilla tracking region of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We congratulate mother Biretwa for adding on the number of members within the Mishaya group and the population of these endangered species which remain fewer than 1063 in the world today. Based on communication from Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), the baby and the mother were all in good health conditions.
| NEWBORN GORILLA AND MOTHER |
Mishaya gorilla is a habituated gorilla group which is open for tourists on Uganda gorilla tracking safari to track in the Rushaga region of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. It makes up part of the 20 habituated gorilla families in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and tracking it rewards trekkers with astonishing experiences. This gorilla family is a product of the Nshongi gorilla group and it split away in July, 2010.
Originally, it was headed by Mishaya Silverback who broke away with 8 members to begin his own family. It consisted of Mize a juvenile, Mwiza baby, Bakunzi, Rutaro, Mishaya Silverback. The group has so far expanded to 12 members with the newly born gorilla.
