Chimpanzee Tracking
Follow experienced guides through Kibale’s dense forest to spend an hour with a habituated chimpanzee community, often amid the calls of a dozen other primate species.
Kibale Forest holds the highest concentration of primates anywhere in East Africa — thirteen species moving through a dense, moss-hung canopy, from red colobus and grey-cheeked mangabeys to over 1,500 chimpanzees.
Mornings here start early, tracking a habituated chimp community by call and canopy movement until you are standing beneath them as they feed and groom. The forest borders the open wetlands of Bigodi, a gentler counterpoint for an afternoon walk.

Join researchers for a full day following chimps from their morning nest to evening rest, a quieter, longer alternative to standard tracking.
Follow a raised boardwalk through papyrus swamp bordering the forest, home to eight primate species and abundant birdlife including the great blue turaco.
Kibale supports over 375 bird species across its canopy and forest edge, drawing keen birders from across the region.
