Five to six hours west of Kampala, the primate capital of East Africa is home to 13 species of monkeys and apes, including one of the world’s densest populations of chimpanzees. Tracking chimps with experienced rangers is exhilarating: you may hear their whoops and pant-hoots echoing through the canopy long before you spot them swinging, feeding, or grooming.
Beyond chimpanzees, Kibale offers sightings of red colobus monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, blue monkeys, and grey-cheeked mangabeys. The surrounding crater lakes region—with its volcanic rims, tea plantations, and scenic villages—adds charm to any visit, making Kibale one of Uganda’s most complete nature experiences.
