The all day habituation was phenomenal! But the amounts of people were surprising and overwhelming.
Loved the Chimpanzee Experience. Lots of Primates to be seen even driving along the road.

Chimpanzees and monkeys galore in Kibale! The trekking here isn't as tough as Bwindi and seeing the chimpanzees in the wild is such a fun experience. They're fascinating to watch.

Loved tracking the chimps !!! The rooms at the Primate Lodge were beautiful, the food was very good. We went to the Bigodi Swamp which was great for bird watching and saw monkeys.

Incredible primate experience!
We visited Kibale Forest in May 2015 and the main reason for our visit was to see chimpanzees, we were certainly not disappointed! The experience was outstanding and the quality of the guiding was second to none. As someone who has visited all of Uganda's National Parks, I would say that seeing the chimpanzees in Kibale was up there with the best experiences in the country and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
We did the trek on a clear sunny day, which apparently helped with the viewing of Chimpanzees. We were lucky to find 3 of them within 5 minutes (having driven for 10 minutes away from the starting point, due to the chimps being some distance away). We then tracked them for about 30 minutes and found the rest of the group, around 25 individuals, whom we were able to get close to and follow for a good period of time. The walk is through fairly thick forest and quite hilly in places. We were with a mixed group, but the guide set a pace appropriate for all.

Trekking through the forest and getting up close a group of chimps is second only to finding the gorillas for the first time.

Excellent, because of the chimpansee's!
An incredible experience
A great experience spending one hour amongst the chimp, standing very close to them and being able to observe them in their natural environment. The vegetation is not too dense which allows for good photography The guides were great and very knowledgeable. One of the top destination in Uganda
Chimpanzee trekking
My wife and I did an all-day Chimp trek. So fascinating. You spend a day with them, as they travel through the forest, you share their daily routine. You see them making choices, resting, eating, drumming on trees (!), interacting. The trek itself is flat, you cover a good area, but not too hard (MUCH easier than Gorilla trekking, which I also recommend). Chimpanzees are our closest relative.. see them in the wild, in their natural habitat, up close.
