Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest Park in Uganda



Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale forest National park in Uganda is possibly the best as to where to view chimpanzees in the world. Chimpanzee tracking, in Kibale has h approximately over  1,400 chimps in the forest, about 120 are habituated.  The habituated chimpanzees are the ones allowed to track by humans. As to embark on the tracking and entering deep into the forest and getting ready and  soon discover that coming face to face with a chimpanzee or mountain gorilla isn’t something you can ever really be prepared for.
It’s a lot like unexpectedly running into an old friend you haven’t seen in years, or being startled by your own reflection. For a moment you freeze as you try and make sense of it all. Simply put, it’s impossible not to be moved.


You will spend  a f
ull day with two different chimp groups. Will see  elders with grey beards, dominant alpha males, and females with newborn babies. But will see even more wild animals like elephants if you are lucky may encounter leopard  mongoose etc.  We see how  intelligent these beings  are when they decide to use their  language, tools, and make a ‘home’ to sleep in come dusk. So this is seeing another society you have not seen before  focusing on their  families.

When you take or you are about to tour destinations with primates Uganda is simply the best , here will view lots of chimpanzees, mountain gorillas rarely seen anywhere else other than Rwanda.  A uganda tour combined with Uganda wildlife safari will yeil much in terms of big five . primates, nature  and even people as it is believed tht ugandans are very receptive and ever happy  so wil make friends here for your last ever lasting memories.
