Our day starts early, with breakfast and then chimpanzee tracking. The park is home to an impressive 500 chimpanzees. Before heading into the forest, we are briefed on the trekking procedures.

The dense jungles of Kibale are the best place to view chimpanzees in Africa. The chimpanzees are commonly found feeding on fig tree fruits in the game park and have been habituated to humans since 1992. Kibale National Park covers 795sq km and consists mostly of a vast tract of equatorial rainforest. This national park is home to numerous forest wildlife species, boasting one of the highest concentrations of primates in the world. In the afternoon, we'll travel south to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, taking in the sights and looking out for the resident game as we drive.

Have an early morning breakfast and proceed to the briefing point. Enjoy the highlight of your trip, gorilla trekking, which may last from 2 to 6 hours depending on the group you are visiting.
