Kibale Forest is the prime location in Uganda for tracking chimpanzees.
This 766 square kilometre park is largely comprised of rainforest, which contains 60 mammal and 335 bird species, as well as a cornucopia of different plants and insects. Of the mammals there are amazing 13 primate species, of which chimps are the obvious star attraction.
Of the lodges focussed mainly on the forest, the best are the mid-range
Chimps Nest and
Kibale Primate Lodge.
To the east of the forest is an incredibly scenic area of crater lakes and agriculture, where the fabulous
Ndali Lodge is one of our favourite spots in the country.
