KIBALE FOREST NATIONAL PARK

KIBALE FOREST

NATIONAL PARK

Kibale Forest is one of the most beautiful rainforests in East Africa. The forest is home to 13 different primates. Almost nowhere else in Africa do so many different primates live in one forest. But what really matters in Kibale forest are the chimpanzees. More than 1000 chimpanzees live here in the wild. A chimp tracking in Kibale Forest offers the best chance of seeing these special primates in their natural habitat.

The eye contact with the chimps will be fascinating. Screaming and screaming loudly, they jump through the forest. Stomping on trees, they make a hell of a racket. Those sounds alone make an encounter with these primates a special event. Kibale Forest is a beautiful and misty forest located at an altitude of about 1100 to 1600 meters. At the lowest points you will find swamps with papyrus. All around are the primeval trees of more than 50 meters high. The fringe monkey has found its place here. But in addition to the many monkeys and beautiful trees, there are also many other mammals. Think, for example, of the rare forest elephants, beautiful birds and not to forget the approximately 150 species of butterflies in all colors and sizes.
