Chimpanzee Tracking in Kyambura Gorge

Come with us as we trek through the forest in search of chimpanzees. Once we find these remarkable primates, you'll share an extraordinary encounter with some of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
Chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, located on the eastern edge of Queen Elizabeth National Park, is one of Uganda’s most dramatic and immersive wildlife experiences. Unlike other chimpanzee destinations in the country, Kyambura offers a rare combination of primates, geology, forest ecology, and adventure, all concentrated within a deep, forested canyon often described as a “hidden world” beneath the savannah.

After tracking you will transfer to Bwindi National Park.
