The Nkuringo sector which lies closely to the Buhoma sector is about 10km from Buhoma although this distance is covered by the Impenetrable Forest and a walk through the forest takes about 4 hours. Connecting by the car from the two points takes about 7 to 8 hours. Villages at Nkuringo also operate a community walk that visits a traditional healer, rural homestead, blacksmith and brewers. Nkuringo and Bushaho are the families in this sector. The Gorilla Habituation Experience is now being offered with the Bushaho family. The Ruhija sector which is famous for its abundant bird-life on top of the gorillas is considered the most remote sector of all the four.
