A relatively early morning start, to report to the ranger station in Kibale National Park at 0800 & 1500 to track habituated chimps – these delightful apes, more closely related to humans than to any other living creature, are tremendous fun to watch as they squabble and play in fruiting trees. A network of shady forest paths in light terrain provides much joy to nature lovers and especially botanists and birders are in for a special treat.

The trek can lasts 2 to 4 hours. Chimpanzee are the most sought after primate by visitors, but you should also look out for the black & white colobus, red tailed monkey or the grey cheeked mangabey.
