Kibale Forest National Park: What to See and Do?

Kibale Forest National Park is a fantastic spot for bird watching and is home to thirteen different kinds of primates, making it the monkey capital of the world. When you come, you can be sure that you will see at least one of these animals. A few of the most popular things to do in Kibale Forest National Park are listed below.

Trekking with Chimpanzees and Learning About Their Habitat at the National Park of Kibale

An important part of visiting Kibale Forest National Park is engaging in chimpanzee tracking and habituation. Tracking entails spending an hour with the apes once you come across them on your hike, while habituation requires spending half a day with the apes after you locate them.

You and your group will be escorted by knowledgeable researchers, trackers, and guides on an early morning hike into the forest to see chimpanzees and other primates in their native environment. For an hour, you’ll get to spend time right up close to these entertaining and sociable apes as they lead you through the tracking process and let you take part in their everyday life.

There are only over 5,000 chimpanzees left in Uganda, making them one of the most endangered species on Earth. Because they are always on the move in search of food, chimpanzee tracking may be a challenging endeavor. Furthermore, seeing chimpanzees is no assurance since they are wild creatures. But the success rate for watching is more than 80%.
