Chimpanzee trekking experience.
Chimpanzee trekking safari begins very early in the morning with a training on the rules and regulations to adhere while trekking in Kibale Forest National Park, Budongo Forest, Kalinzu Forest, and Kyambura Gorge. After the briefing, you will be divided into groups of eight, with each group receiving a habituated chimpanzee family to trek and a knowledgeable park guide who is familiar with the forest’s routes. Because chimpanzees like to roam from one spot to another in search of food, chimpanzee trekking in Uganda might last anywhere from 30 minutes to 5 hours, depending on the location of the chimps. You can see additional primates while trekking, including black-and-white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, and grey-chequered mangabeys, as well as several bird species, plant species, and tree species. Once the chimpanzees have been located, you will be given an hour to spend with them in their natural environment. During this time, you will be able to observe them feeding, nursing, grooming, playing, hunting, fighting, mating, and taking pictures and record the videos while also learning more about their habits and way of life.
