Chimpanzee Trekking in Kibale
Track wild chimpanzees through Uganda's primate capital
What to Expect
Kibale is often called the primate capital of East Africa, and chimpanzee trekking here is a quieter, equally rewarding counterpart to gorilla trekking — following a habituated community through the forest as they move, forage, and call to each other overhead. It pairs naturally with Queen Elizabeth National Park, which borders Kibale to the south, for travellers who want primates and classic savannah wildlife in one trip.
