Tour Features

This 3-Day 2nights Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Safari Tour – Uganda Short Tour takes in Kibale national park takes you to Africa’s number one primate capital hubs for wonderful encounters with chimps and other 12 other primates. Kibale National Park is located in the western part of Uganda and covers an area of 795 square kilometres. The national park consists of mainly tropical rain-forest with vast woodlands and Savannah. The rainforest is an extension of those found in central Africa although time and human activity have reduced its size considerably. Kibale national park has a population of over 1,500 chimpanzees, 12 other primates, 60 mammals, 375 species of birds and 351 trees. 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 national park), warthogs, hippos and giant forest pigs. Kibale forest is the best place to track chimpanzees in the world and that’s the reason we recommend this 3-Day 2nights Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Safari Tour – Uganda Short Tour in Kibale national park.

  • Day 2 - Uganda Chimpanzee trekking (or chimpanzee habituation experi
    Wake up early and ensure that you take a heavy breakfast in preparation for a long day of activities on this 3-Day 2nights Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Safari Tour – Uganda Short Tour in Kibale national park. The key activity will be chimpanzee tracking during the Kanyanchu primates' walk. The walk will expose you to the thirteen primates found in Kibale National Park and beautiful rain-forest, trees and butterflies. Trekking chimpanzee in Kibale national park starts with a briefing at the park office. The Rangers will locate the group by following their hoots and calls. Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale is more predictable compared to the ones in Nyungwe in Rwanda or Budongo forest in Murchison Falls National Park. They are easier to find than anywhere else in Uganda. 3 large communities of chimps have been habituated in the Kibale forest. An advance team is sent to locate them before letting the lead ranger know using a radio call. The Uganda Chimpanzee trekking tour takes between two to four hours depending on the location of the particular group you are assigned. Chimpanzee communities have complex social structures with the large males acting as protectors of the group. Unlike mountain gorillas, the reign of a dominant chimp alpha male is short-lived because he has to deal with far more challenges especially when you consider the size of chimp communities. Moreover, chimp communities tend to split into smaller groups to feed during times of scarcity. During your one-hour encounter with the Chimps on this 3-Day 2nights Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Safari Tour – Uganda Short Tour in Kibale national park, you will notice that they are very mobile primates. They tend to move a lot and do not stay on the ground most of the time like mountain gorillas. You have to prepare to follow them for a while as they swing from tree to tree. Chimps are also very noisy and vocal compared to mountain gorillas. Apart from the chimps, the primates walk in Kanyanchu will expose you to all of the primates in the park including pottos, Grey Vervet Monkeys, baboons, Colobus monkeys, L’Hoest monkeys, grey checked mangabey, blue monkeys and Red Tailed Monkeys. After being with one chimp family for an hour, you will continue to see the other primates in the park before returning to your hotel for lunch. In the afternoon, you will go to the boardwalk trail for birding. The Guide will share with your information about the forest, its history and the creatures that call it home. The afternoon boardwalk is only for those who would be doing chimpanzee trekking. If you are booked for the chimpanzee habituation experience, then you will have no time for birding. In case you want to track gorillas, please look out for our 3-day Uganda gorilla trekking tour you can combine the Uganda gorilla trekking tour with the Uganda chimpanzee trekking tour to make it one package of Uganda safari, Uganda tour or Uganda safari tours

  • Day 3 - Visit the Community – transfer back to Entebbe or Kampala
    Wake up at your leisure and take breakfast on this last day of the 3 Day 2nights Uganda Chimpanzee Trekking Safari Tour – Uganda Short Tour in Kibale national park. Prepare to go for a village walk before starting the journey back to Kampala in the middle of the day. While with the community, you will learn about their customs and cultural heritage. You will walk through the village or visit one of the homes to meet the elders who have vast knowledge about the area and its history. You could even visit the church, and school and eat some of the local food. Uganda safari, Uganda tour or a trip to Uganda should not be all about the wildlife. Ugandans are super friendly to foreigners. If you missed visiting the Palace of the King of Toro or the Karambi tombs for some reason, this is the time to visit. Lunch will be along the way. The scenery around Fort Portal and this part of Uganda are breathtaking. Look out for the rugged hills, tea plantations, local farms of Ankole cattle and peasants working in their gardens. The driver will drop you at a location in Kampala or the Airport.
