Kibale Forest National Park is home to Uganda's largest population of habituated chimpanzees, alongside 12 other primate species, making it East Africa's premier primate-trekking destination. This 3-day itinerary centers on close encounters with our closest living relatives in their lush rainforest habitat.

Day 1: Arrival & Bigodi Wetland Walk

Depart Kampala or Fort Portal, arriving at Kibale Forest by early afternoon. Check into Little Monkey Camp, a comfortable tented camp bordering the forest known for its warm hospitality and easy access to trailheads.
