3 Days Hot Springs and Chimpanzee Tracking

The genesis of Kibale Forest National Park dates back to the early 1940s when it was gazetted as a government Forest Reserve. The forest park sits on a total area of 795sqkms with an elevation ranging from 1,100m – 1,590m above sea level. This varying altitude supports a diversity of wildlife because it’s characterized by savannah on the rift valley floor, woodland, and wet-tropical forests.

With 13 recorded primate species, Kibale Forest National Park is endowed with the highest diversity and concentration of primates in Africa. Chimpanzees are the highlight of the primate world in Kibale! There are 1450 chimps in Kibale. Other primates include the L’hoest monkey, the highest concentration of Red Colobus Monkeys in East Africa, black & white colobus monkeys, blue monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey, red-tailed monkey, olive baboon, bush baby, and potto. Kibale Forest is also a birding hotspot! With 372 recorded bird species, six of which are Albertine Rift Endemics, bird enthusiasts find the park an Eden of birds.
