Golden monkeys are endangered species like mountain gorillas, and they are found in Uganda and Rwanda in the same national parks where gorilla trekking is done, golden monkeys like feeding on the bamboo shoot so as you track them you are more likely to find them in the bamboo area zone mostly when trekking in Uganda’s Mgahinga National Parks you normally find a golden monkey in bamboo and sometimes it’s had to take photos but if the given time they come to open area for photography, Uganda and Rwanda have one habituated golden monkey family (troop) each, one for Rwanda is found in Volcanoes park and one for Uganda is found in Mgahinga National Park
A golden monkey trekking permit in Uganda costs $90 while in Rwanda golden monkey permit cost $100 and more like gorillas so you have to book your trekking permit in time, the starting point of a golden monkey is the same as gorillas, and also once you locate the golden monkeys you are allowed to spend one-hour viewing, filming, photographing and watching closely.
