The 3 Days Chimpanzee Trekking tour in Kibale Forest National Park is one of our unforgettable primate trekking safaris. This short tour leads to the western side of the country where Kibale Forest National Park can be explored for its 13 primate species especially chimpanzees alongside other animals and birds that call the Protected Area home. This lush Park extends for over 795 square kilometers marked by Rainforest, Rivers, swamps as well as small parts of savannah grassland.

Much as chimpanzee trekking is the highlight of this primate safari, visitors are also offered chances of undertaking guided community walks in Bigodi wetland Sanctuary.
