2 DAYS CHIMPANZEE ADVENTURE

Kibale Foret National Park is very famous for chimpanzee trekking adventure, birding and other primates in Uganda’s rainforests. This Park averages about 3,300 feet in elevation, is an extension of the great rain forests of central Africa. It is inhabited by several large “communities” of chimps, each numbering more than 100 individuals. Each community has a complicated social structure. The big adult males dominate the group and defend the community territory against incursions by male outsiders, the females usually wander in small family groups.

Detailed Itinerary:

Day 1: Transfer – Kibale Forest National Park (Approx. 5-6hr drive)

Upon arrival at the airport, our guide will receive you and transfer immediately to Kibale forest national park for your tomorrow’s adventure and he will brief you about your safari before we drive westwards towards Fort Portal to the Kibale Forest National Park. You will be traveling on both asphalt and unpaved roads; you pass through traditional Ugandan Villages where you see people at work and the lush rolling hills of this region provide good photo opportunities. As you approach Fort Portal in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, you enter Uganda’s famous tea plantation region. A carpet of green spreads before you, as far as the eye can see, and seems an unusual contrast to the countryside through which you have just passed. You arrive at Fort Portal, then, continue towards Kibale forest, one of the great African rain forest research reserves.

Years of study by scientists (who have cut a grid through the forest) have habituated many of its animals to human observers. This forest is famed for the variety of primates found here and it is a terrific area for birds. You will arrive at your lodge for check-in and relaxation.
