Kibale Forest Safari
Uganda's Kibale Forest National Park is an extensive equatorial rainforest
noted for its primate diversity. It is an enchanting park full
of lakes, grasslands, marshes and forests on the lower slopes of the
Rwenzori
Mountains in western Uganda.
Kibale is best known for its healthy population
of approximately 500 chimpanzees, though it's also home to at least 60 mammal species, including
twelve other primate species and a few elephant. Around 350 bird species have
also been recorded and the park is a lepidopterist's dream with hundreds
of brilliantly coloured butterflies floating through the air.
The top attraction at Kibale is the guided chimp-tracking
excursion that leaves twice a day. Chimpanzee tracking starts at
the entrance to the park where you will meet the experienced guides and
rangers, all with expert knowledge of Kibale's flora and fauna.
A Kibale Forest Safari offers an excellent opportunity
to see chimps; though once you have found them, keeping up can be
quite a challenge if they decide to move on through the branches at high
speed.
