Susa gorilla family (Susa A) : The Susa gorilla family is named after or takes its name from the Susa River, which flows through the area where the gorilla group frequently makes its home. In studies on mountain gorilla conservation, the Susa gorilla family is one of the most well-known and has historical significance.

At the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, Dian Fossey did study on this particular gorilla family before her sad death in 1985.

It is the most challenging to hike across Volcanoes National Park because this group is often found at high altitudes. If you want a little bit of a physical challenge, you should book your gorilla tracking permits for this group because there are some days when it climbs so high that visitors are not allowed to walk it.

Although discovering this family may be difficult, the rangers make it simpler by taking the initiative, locating the gorillas, and informing your current rangers where to go in order to shorten the walk.

The Susa gorilla group once had the most individuals in Volcanoes National Park, with up to 42 individuals. Susa now has 28 members, including three Silverbacks and two twins by the names of Impano and Byishimo. Nevertheless, this number has fluctuated owing to gorilla family dynamics, disputes, and group splits.

The family is among the luckiest few because they were able to have twins. Susa Group is geared toward individuals who value endurance, adventure, and, above all, the chance to interact closely with gorilla twins.

Are you a twin or do you have twins? If so, you and this family share a lot of similarities. Contact your Rwandan safari company and request that they secure authorization for you to follow the Susa Gorilla Group in particular.
