The 766 Km² Park predominantly covers evergreen rain forest and ranges between 1100 and 1600m in elevation. Kibale Forest is one of the last remaining expanses to contain both lowland and montane forests and forms a continuous forest with Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Day 2
Chimpanzee tracking and transfer to Bwindi impenetrable Np
Chimpanzee tracking and transfer to Bwindi impenetrable Np
Today you will wake up early and the driver will drive you to the head offices to be briefed about your Chimp tracking experience. Kibale Forest National Park boasts the highest number of primate species in the world, including the chimpanzees. Approximately 5,000 chimpanzees live in the wild in Uganda, which makes it a perfect place to see them.
An experienced ranger will take you for chimp tracking. Chimp tracking is done in the morning or afternoon; you might also see other monkey species that live here. Once you locate the chimpanzees you will have a full hour of eye-to-eye contact with them. Since they are wild animals, we can never guarantee you to see them and might have to settle with hearing their hoots and hollers. But the chances are 99% that you will see them.
You will have lunch and then go for Bigodi swamp walk.

Day 3
Gorilla tracking experience
Gorilla tracking experience
Today your guide will transfer you to the park headquarters for briefing about gorilla tracking. You will encounter one of Bwindi’s endangered mountain gorillas.
Bwindi Impenetrable national park boasts both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees – the only forest in Africa that can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primates. The gorillas you track are habituated and can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period of time, every day.
The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 7 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’. You will then return to the Offices for a small ceremony, your guide/driver will be waiting to transfer you to Lake Bunyonyi.
