If you’re specifically looking to find golden monkeys in Uganda, they can primarily be found in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

Colobus monkeys are a group of Old World monkeys known for their distinct appearance, with long, silky fur, and a black and white coloration pattern. They are primarily found in Africa, including Uganda. In Uganda, you can find several species of colobus monkeys, including the Eastern black-and-white colobus (Colobus guereza), which is the most common species in the Mgahinga National Park.

Colobus monkeys are herbivores, primarily feeding on leaves, fruits, and other vegetation. They are known for their social behavior and live in groups, often led by a dominant male.
