Kibale National Park

Referred to as the Primate Capital of the World, Kibale National Park is a lush, tropical forest that boasts one of the highest densities of primates in Africa. The park’s star attraction is its large population of chimpanzees, which visitors can track in their natural habitat. Expert guides lead you through the forest to find these highly social animals, offering a rare glimpse into their behaviors and interactions. Beyond chimpanzees, Kibale is home to 13 primate species, including colobus monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabeys, and L’Hoest’s monkeys. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 370 recorded bird species. After your trek, you can visit the nearby Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, a community-run conservation project that showcases rich birdlife and the vibrant flora of the region.
