Kibaale National Park boasts the most chimpanzees you will encounter; however, the chimpanzees not far from your forest spots cut your trekking distance or reduce the time you spend engaged in the activity. This is a really great thing since you basically spend the rest of the day for other purposes and spend five to six hours in the forest.

Along with other exciting activities like bird watching in the Bigodi wetlands, nature walks in the forests, community walks around and a couple other things while you hike chimpanzees in Kibaale National Park.

Another reason you should hike chimpanzees in Kibaale National Park is the forest’s distinctiveness; among the oldest stretches with both lowland and montane woods. The woodlands have more than a thousand different kinds of trees as well as other kinds of varied vegetation.

Starting out as a simple chimpanzee trekking tour, your journey to Kibaale National Park may be used to explore the entire region – via Fort Portal City, Rwenzori Mountains, Semiliki Parks, and other locations – using your Uganda Safari if your itinerary and time allow.

Most of the habituated chimpanzees in Uganda are found in Kibaale National Park; hence, you may confidently walk the chimps knowing that they won’t become wild on you particularly if you follow the trekking rules and recommendations; this will guarantee a fantastic experience.

Regarding the guidelines and policies of chimpanzee trekking, these are some of the ones that visitors should abide by starting their journey.

Keep a 7 to 10 meter space between you and the chimpanzees, avoid using flash cameras, avoid doing anything that could endanger the chimps, avoid feeding the chimpanzees, avoid squeeze, cough and eat in front of the chimpanzees, avoid touching the chimpanzees among other things.
