Exclusive Chimpanzee Habituation And Conservation Experience

The Ultimate Chimpanzee Habituation And Conservation Experience. This exclusive Chimpanzee Habituation And Conservation safari includes a distinctive chimpanzee tracking and conservation experience, a visit to Kibale National Park, Bigodi, and the cultural sites of ‘Amabere ga nyina mwiru’ in Fort Portal, participation in tree planting activities, support for the “Save River Mpanga” project, and enjoyment of hot springs, nature walks, hill climbing, and crater lake viewing.

Kibale National Park, situated near Fort Portal in western Uganda, is a distinguished tourist site. It is renowned for its habituated chimpanzees and a variety of primate species, including baboons, red colobus monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and black-and-white colobus monkeys, which can be witnessed during guided forest nature walks.

The park encompasses 776 square kilometres and has several ecosystems, predominantly rainforests inhabited by forest elephants, which are smaller than their savanna relatives. Additional occupants comprise buffalo, gigantic forest hogs, and elusive antelope species. Ornithologists can observe more than 335 avian species, with the elusive Green Breasted Pitta being a coveted discovery. Informed guides are available to identify many butterflies.

The forest features routes for chimpanzee tracking, birdwatching, and nature hikes, complemented by further birdwatching opportunities in the adjacent Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary.
