Kibale Chimp Tracking: Discover the Primate Capital of the World

Kibale National Park, located in western Uganda, is renowned as the primate capital of the world, boasting over 13 primate species and one of Africa’s largest populations of wild chimpanzees. The park’s lush tropical rainforest is home to approximately 1,500 chimpanzees, offering visitors an extraordinary opportunity to encounter these intelligent creatures in their natural habitat. Beyond chimpanzees, Kibale also shelters other fascinating primates, including red colobus monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabeys, and the rare Uganda mangabey.
