Trekking through the forest and getting up close a group of chimps is second only to finding the gorillas for the first time.

A great experience spending one hour amongst the chimp, standing very close to them and being able to observe them in their natural environment. The vegetation is not too dense which allows for good photography The guides were great and very knowledgeable. One of the top destination in Uganda

Chimps were fascinating and the natural surrounds were really lovely. A nice stopover between Kampala and the seeing the gorillas.

The main attraction is the Chimp trekking, which is a very nice and interesting thing to do, but also a bit touristy and comparably expensive.

A surprise around every corner

We only had one full day in Kibale which was a shame as there was so much to see and enjoy there. It seemed that everywhere you turned there was a new species that you hadn't yet seen, it was full of diversity from Primates to butterflies, birds to flowers it just seemed packed to the rim with wildlife.
We did the chimp walk in the morning and within a few minutes came across three walking straight towards us, they go so fast but we managed to keep up with them and fortunately they chose to stop and groom each other on a fallen log, further along we encountered a few more of the group including Males, Females and babies.
We stayed at the Primate lodge in one of the tented camps which was set right in the middle of their gardens and had vervet and red tailed monkeys playing in the trees just in front.
We sat and watched butterflies dance amongst the flowers and then some tiny striped squirrels chasing each other around a tree.
The rooms were spotless and
Read more very comfortable, the food was great, all freshly cooked and very filling.
We also had a great walk around the Bigodi wetlands were we encountered several more primate species at close range, many forest butterflies that were only to be found in Kibale, the beautiful blue Turacos and the tiny dwarf kingfisher amongst plenty of other things. The guides were extremely knowledgable and very proud of their countries wildlife and beautiful park.
Would highly recommend and would definitely have liked to have more time in this fantastic park.
