Explore Tours
This 3 Days Chimpanzee Trekking Safari tour sets you off from Kampala- Uganda’s capital or Entebbe to Kibale forest national park the primate capital of the world and one of the most rewarding areas to explore. You will have an experience of a lifetime  encountering these primate species in their natural habitat and have an opportunity to see a number of bird species.
Kibale National Park 
has a population of over 1,500 chimpanzees, 12 other primates, 60 mammals, 375 species  of birds and 351 of trees making it the best destination for this 3 Days Chimpanzee Trekking Safari. Some of the trees in the forest can grow up to 55 meters in height while others are over 200 years old. Before we go further, it is important to mention that Kibale forest is also home to forest elephants, leopards, lions (from Queen Elizabeth), warthogs, hippos and giant forest pigs. Kibale forest is the best place to track chimpanzees in the world. It’s unfortunate that Kibale doesn’t have mountain gorillas because if it was the case, it would probably be one of the most visited national parks in Africa.
This 3 Days Chimpanzee Trekking Safari has option of going for the chimpanzee habituation experience. Chimp habituation experience involves tracking the chimps with researchers as they go about habituating wild chimpanzees. The experience is more comprehensive than standard chimpanzee trekking and requires following the chimps throughout the day. You have a greater chance of witnessing rare chimp behavior like hunting other animals for meat. If you choose to go for the 3 Days Chimpanzee Trekking Safari habituation in Kibale forest, then you will spend the whole day taking part in the habituation of chimps. Chimpanzee habituation requires waking up earlier than usual to reach the chimps before they start moving out of their nests. You then follow them with the rangers and researchers throughout the day. During this time, you watch the chimps begin their day, feed, interact and finally make their nests for the night.

It is a great place to shop not too far from New York. We took the bus from Port Authority and traveled through the countryside to get there.
