Kibale Forest is one of the best places in Uganda to see wild chimpanzees.
Thanks to habituation of the chimpanzees that lost their natural fear of humans and can be approached very closely.
Kibale National Park is also a very good place to observe smaller primates like the black and white colobus, grey-cheeked mangabey and the rare l’Hoest monkey.
Incase we are lucky, we shall encounter the red-velvet-monkey
Also nocturnal primates like the Thomas’s galago can be seen.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bigodi Swamp during a 3 hours wetland walk.
With over 200 bird species, 8 primate species, mammals like bushpig, bushbuck and the very shy and endangered sitatunga.
Many reptiles plus an uncounted number of trees, shrubs and vines, it is a wonderful place to be.
