Kibale Forest National Park in western Uganda is one of Africa’s best places to see chimpanzees in the wild. Many travellers visit this beautiful rainforest because it is known as the “Primate Capital of the World,” with more than 13 primate species including chimpanzees, red-tailed monkeys, black-and-white colobus, grey-cheeked mangabeys and many others. The park is also loved for its rich wildlife, beautiful nature walks, Bigodi wetland, bird watching and the peaceful green environment that makes it one of the top Uganda safari destinations.
Most visitors choose Kibale Forest for the famous chimpanzee tracking and chimpanzee habituation experience. These activities give you the chance to walk through the tropical forest with an expert ranger and spend time watching chimpanzees feed, play and move freely in their natural home. Kibale Forest chimp tracking is one of the best wildlife encounters in Uganda and is easy to combine with other popular Uganda safaris like Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for gorilla trekking. Because of the good road network, comfortable lodges, friendly local communities and beautiful Crater Lakes, the area around Kibale is also perfect for nature lovers, photographers and families looking for a relaxed Uganda tour.
Kibale Forest is open all year and the best time to visit is during the dry seasons when the forest trails are less muddy.
