Chimpanzee trekking

Your day begins with an early breakfast before heading to Kibale National Park for a briefing by your ranger guides. After the briefing, you’ll embark on a guided trek into the lush rainforest to track the chimpanzees. As you walk through the forest, you may also spot other primates like red-tailed monkeys and black-and-white colobus. Once the chimpanzees are found, you’ll spend an hour observing them up close—watching their playful interactions and listening to their distinctive calls.

After the chimpanzee tracking, return to the lodge for lunch and some downtime. In the afternoon, you have the option to visit the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary, famous for its rich birdlife and diverse primates. A guided walk through the wetland offers a chance to see the Great Blue Turaco and learn about local conservation efforts.

Return to your lodge in the evening for dinner and relaxation, reflecting on your close encounters with Uganda’s remarkable wildlife.
