The Kahungye Gorilla Group in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is named after Kahungye Hill, a hill in the Rushaga sector of Bwindi where the gorilla family was first spotted by trackers.
"When you hear the name Kahungye, it comes from a hill in the Rushaga area of Bwindi where this gorilla family was first discovered. Just like human families, mountain gorilla families have their own histories, leaders, social relationships and territories. Some even split to form new families."
