Chimpanzee tracking in Budongo forest and transfer to the nothern part of the national park

Set off into Budongo forest for the chimpanzee trekking adventure. This group of chimps is quite large, numbering about 80 individuals. The terrain is relatively flat so do not expect hard trek, unless if they are far away from Kaniyo Pabidi which is normally the case around the month September when there is less food in their territory and have to search from farther away. You will spend at most one hour with the chimps.
Transfer to the north of Murchison Falls National Park with a scheduled visit to the top of the falls.
