Overview

Kibale National Park is Uganda’s primate capital and one of the best places in Africa to experience chimpanzee trekking in the wild. Home to over 1,500 chimpanzees and 12 other primate species, the park offers an exceptional opportunity to observe our closest relatives in their natural rainforest habitat.

Guided treks lead you deep into lush tropical forest as expert trackers follow vocal calls, nests, and movement patterns. Once located, you’ll spend a magical hour observing chimpanzees as they forage, play, groom, and communicate. The experience is both thrilling and educational, offering insight into complex primate behavior and conservation efforts.

Beyond chimpanzees, Kibale is rich in birdlife, butterflies, and forest mammals, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and photographers seeking an immersive rainforest safari.
