Tour Program

Your safari will begin with our driver/guide picking you from Kampala for a 4-hours drive to Kibale Forest National Park which is located in the Western Uganda. You will drive along the Mubende-Fortportal route which offers you a beautiful scenery. Fortportal lies in the shadow of the legendary Rwenzori mountains which form a fascinating backdrop to the magnificent volcanic landscape.

After an early morning breakfast you will be driven to the park headquarters. Here you will have a briefing from experienced park rangers on how to conduct yourself for a prosperous chimpanzee tour. You will watch the chimpanzees in their natural habitat swinging from the branches in the high canopy above the forest flour, playing, feeding, and bonding.

On the last day of your chimpanzee trekking safari tour in Kibale Forest, you will have breakfast and then embark on a guided nature/birding walk in the forest before embarking on a drive back to Kampala – Uganda's capital.
