Uganda Primate Adventure
A journey designed around Uganda’s forests and primates, with time to experience the landscapes and communities along the way.
Chimpanzee Safaris
Into the Forest With Uganda’s Chimpanzees
There is something unforgettable about hearing chimpanzees calling through the forest before you see them.
Uganda is one of Africa’s exceptional destinations for primate encounters, and Kibale National Park is at the heart of the experience.
A chimpanzee safari takes you beneath the forest canopy in search of habituated chimpanzee communities while giving you the opportunity to discover one of Uganda’s richest ecosystems.
Kibale National Park
Known for its remarkable concentration of primates, Kibale offers a very different experience from Uganda’s open savannah parks.
The forest is alive with sound and movement — chimpanzees calling from the canopy, monkeys moving through the trees and birds filling the understory with colour.
Beyond Chimpanzees
A chimpanzee-focused journey can be combined with other experiences throughout Uganda.
Consider adding:
- Gorilla trekking in Bwindi
- Wildlife viewing in Queen Elizabeth
- A boat safari on the Kazinga Channel
- Murchison Falls and the Nile
- Birdwatching
- Cultural experiences
