The Ruhija sector has four habituated gorilla groups and among them include Bitukura family, Oruzogo family, Kyaguriro group, Mukiza Group and so on. The Kyaguriro Gorilla group which was reserved for research has been fully habituated for gorilla tourism. Also note that 8 people are allowed to track the habituated gorilla family.
