Kibale National Park

Trek in search chimpanzees and spot a range of wildlife in one of Uganda’s most diverse landscapes.

The biggest draw to Kibale is the troops of habituated chimpanzees. Depart with your expert guide in search of these amazing creatures and you may be lucky enough to spot plenty of other species along the way including 12 other species of primate and over 375 bird species. The park has one of the highest concentrations and diversities of primates in Africa.

The landscape here is largely forest, including the last significant expanse of pre-montane forest in East Africa. Other wildlife includes elephant, buffalo, leopard as well as red and blue duikers.

This is an important destination for primates in particular and a very special part of Uganda.

"The experience of getting up and close to chimpanzees was amazing and on par with seeing the gorillas in Rwanda. It was great though to also encounter the uncommon L’Hoest’s monkeys and the endangered red colobus monkeys."
