KIBALE FOREST NATIONAL PARK

Home to the highest density of primates in Africa

Kibale Forest

12 different primates live in Kibale Forest. You can find animals like the Red Tailed Monkey, Black and With Colobus, Blue Monkey, Grey-cheeked Mangabey, Red Colobus Monkey and the Bush Baby.

In the end, the chimpansees are the most important feature of this forest. Your experienced guide will learn you everything about how they behave, what noises they make and how they move their way through the forest. It’s an extraordinary experience. Besides all the primates, also over 300 kinds of birds and butterflies can spotted!

Ofcourse, we cannot guarantee that you see the chimpansees, as they are wild animals and they won’t sit down and wait for you at the same spot every single day. However, about 95% of the tourists have seen the chimps! When you don’t find them, you won’t get your money back. 

Best time to travel to Kibale Forest

Kibale National Park can be visited all year long, but the best times are from June to August and December to February. At these times, the forest trails are drier and easier to walk on.

Wildlife

Kibale is best known for it’s chimpanzee population, and it has more than 10 different primate species, including colobus monkeys, blue monkey, red-tailed monkey. Elephant may be spotted too.
