After morning breakfast, you will drive to the park headquarters for briefing before going for chimpanzee trekking.
Upon arrival, you will be briefed and grouped in numbers of a maximum of 8 people but sometimes you can exclusively go alone but on rare occasions. Once you have located the chimpanzees, you will spend a valuable time of 1 Hour and then transfer to the picking point where you will be driven to your hotel for lunch.
You have an option to spend a whole day with the chimpanzees in the forest at an extra top-up (Chimpanzee habituation).
Kibale Forest park is the most magnificent of Uganda’s tropical rain forest and one of the most rewarding areas to explore, it boasts 13 species of primates including the localized Red Colobus, L’hoest monkeys, and the endemic Uganda Manga bay.
Kibale’s major attraction is the Chimpanzees, the delightful Apes, closest to humans than any other living creature. This can be seen swinging in the tree branches as one trek through the forest trails. This park also inhabits the elusive Elephants, Buffalos, giant forest Hogs, and antelopes making it one of the most stunning Parks in Uganda.
After lunch, you will then drive to Bigodi wetland a community wetland tour for the birding, community and primate walk.
This is less strenuous and full of community interaction experience.
