Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Tour

Departing our lodge early, we shall head to Kibale Forest, where the Chimpanzee trek will take place today. On the drive, we may encounter several primate species such as Olive Baboons and Red-tailed Monkeys; who often love to feed along the roadsides.

We shall then proceed to the edge of Kibale Forest, at the beautiful Bigodi Swamp. Here, we shall enjoy a nature walk guided by a local safari guide from the community. We shall also take some time to learn about the community conservation efforts at the local visitor centre. The Bigodi Wetland is a swamp surrounded by tall trees and inhabited by many different primate species. The common primates here include Uganda Grey-cheeked Mangabey, L’Hoest’s Monkey, Western Guereza Colobus Monkey, Uganda Red Colobus Monkey, Red-tailed Monkey and Olive Baboon.

In the afternoon, we shall head to the park headquarters where our Chimpanzee trek will commence. We shall all meet for a briefing from the local rangers at the visitors centre. We shall then be assigned our guides and head into the forest using our vehicle. On arrival, we shall embark on a nice trek deeper into the forest where our primate friends await- the Eastern Chimpanzees. We shall spend time enjoying these beautiful animals as we learn more about their Biology from our very experienced guides. This is the climax of our Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Tour.

We shall then drive back to our lodge for a relaxed evening.

We shall spend the night in Kibale.
