Chimpanzee Trekking

Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, Uganda, provides an exciting opportunity to observe around 1,500 chimpanzees in their natural environment, as the park is known for having one of Africa’s highest densities of primates. Guided treks through the rich rainforests allow visitors to see these intelligent animals interacting socially or moving through the trees while being informed by knowledgeable guides about chimpanzee behaviour and conservation. The trekking can last up to 4 hours, depending on the chimpanzee locations, and you are advised to wear suitable footwear and clothing for the challenging landscape. Early morning treks are especially favored for the best chances of spotting active chimpanzees. Additionally, Kibale tourist safari lodge is home to some of these chimpanzees as they frequently visit our lodge making it a valuable destination for primate lovers and enthusiast. This experience not only enhances appreciation for these primates but also supports conservation efforts in the region.
