Chimpanzee Trekking

Chimpanzee Trekking

This morning, head into Kibale National Park for an unforgettable chimpanzee trekking experience. Known as the “Primate Capital of East Africa”, Kibale is home to the highest density of chimpanzees in the region — over 1,500 individuals — making it one of the best places in the world to see them in the wild.
With the guidance of expert trackers, you’ll follow signs through the forest until you find one of the habituated chimp families. Once located, you’ll spend one hour observing their natural behavior — grooming, feeding, calling loudly through the forest, or moving swiftly through the canopy.

In the evening, rest in your lodge or continue with a sunset game drive.

Along the way, if time and availability allow, you may visit the Uganda Pangolin Conservation Centre—the country’s only dedicated pangolin rescue facility. Here, these shy and highly threatened animals, the most trafficked mammals in the world, are cared for, rehabilitated, and prepared for release back into their natural habitat.
