Recommend visiting Kibale in the afternoon. Learned the Chimpanzees don't like coming down from treetops when ground vegetation is wet. Lucky one hit the ground near our group and happened to be a real poser :-)

The chimps are really great. The forest is not at the same level of Bwindi, but it’s really good. I would like to see snakes in there, but it was not possible.

We found ourselves in another lush forest, hiking to get to the trackers who had spotted the chimpanzees. Our guide was so informative and her love for chimpanzees was contagious! We were a bit unfortunate because the chimpanzees we found were high up in the trees, never coming down once so we hurt our necks constantly looking up. It was also harder to see them up there, but even so seeing them and hearing their calls and learning so many interesting things about them was well worth the visit.

The same as for Bwindi: It was really impressive to see the animals up close. But in a smaller group it would be even better to really get a full score under bush vibe. Here the problem was also that at least 4 groups were close on each other's heels during most of the time and so nearly 40 people as on Black Friday tried to rush after the chimpanzees and take the best position for a picture. I didn't like this stress at all! Apart from that the chimpanzees were very lively and much more active than the gorillas.

Not many wildlife and we could not see the tree climbing lions nor any leopard.

Kibale is incredible, you see many primates and apes, the only not so positive, is that many tourists and photographers for taking the best picture, do not respect the minimum spaces of distance with the chimpazees

African rain forest at ist best, the chimpanzees were very easy to get along with.
