Ultimate well guided Kibale forest chimpanzee tracking safari experience

The Primates Capital of the World

Kibale forest chimpanzee tracking safari at the national park is a biologically rich region that also hosts over 120 other mammal species, including baboons, elephants, and antelopes. The forest is home to approximately 370 bird species, including 23 Albertine Rift endemics such as Nahan’s francolin, Cassin’s spinetail, blue-headed bee-eater, and lowland masked apalis. The most notable among Kibale’s primate population is the surge of about 1,500 chimpanzees, divided into at least a dozen different communities, with four habituated to human presence. The Kanyantale community has been tracked by tourists daily since 1993.

Kibale forest chimpanzee tracking national park safari experience

Kibale’s premier attraction is the Kanyanchu Primate Walk, offering the opportunity to seek out thirteen different primate species, with a variety of diurnal monkeys frequently observed. However, the true highlights are the chimpanzees. Walks depart from the Kanyanchu Visitor Centre at 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 2:00 PM, lasting between two to five hours. Early arrival for registration and briefing is recommended. Interaction time with the chimpanzees is limited to one hour, with group sizes capped at six participants, who must be at least 16 years old. Advance booking is essential.

Kibale forest chimpanzee tracking national park -Primates walk safari

These walks provide the chance to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Kanyunchu’s group are accustomed to human presence- some have been observed for over 25 years. The Chimpanzee Habituation Experience (CHEX) enables visitors to accompany researchers and habituators into the forest. The chimpanzee groups involved are less accustomed to human presence than those visited on the primates walk and following and viewing them is both exciting and challenging. The CHEX sessions is available on a full or half day basis starting at 06:30. Advance booking for this activity is required.

A birdlist of 372 forest, grassland and swamp species including local endemics and central Africa’s specials makes Kibale a popular destination for birders. Forest birds can be sought with the help of our experienced guides on the forest trail at Kanyanchu and Sebitoji tourism sites. This experience should be combined with a visit to Bigodi wetland sanctuary to add forest edge and swamp specials to the list. This popular community run attraction lies just outside the park 5km south of Kanyanchu.

Around the Park; Kibale is surrounded by a wealth of additional attractions. Visitors should take time to explore the scenic crater lakes along the western margin of the park, tour a tea factory, drive down onto the rift valley floor to the hot springs in the Semuliki NP, hike on the Rwenzori mountain and view big game on the grasslands of Queen Elizabeth NP.
