Description

Kibale National Park is a beautiful and fascinating eco-tourism destination in western Uganda. About 320 kilometres (5-6 hours) by road from Kampala, the park covers an area of 766 km² and is connected to Queen Elizabeth National Park, forming a continuous forest. The park is renowned for its large population of habituated chimpanzees, making it the best place to see these magnificent creatures in East Africa. In addition to the chimpanzees, the park is also home to 12 other species of primates, making it one of the world’s highest primate population densities.

Visitors to the park can enjoy chimp tracking, which is a less strenuous activity compared to trekking to see gorillas, but still offers an intriguing experience. The chimpanzees tend to keep a safe distance in the tall trees while munching on fruit, providing a unique and unforgettable sight for the uninitiated. The park also boasts many monkeys, adding to its charm and appeal. Overall, Kibale National Park is an excellent safari destination that will impress and delight visitors.
