Additional Information

Uganda is one of the few countries in the world that can offer such a wide range of wildlife and safari experiences on a single trip. Chimp tracking in Uganda is one of the most amazing wildlife adventures on the continent. Kibale Forest National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and Queen Elizabeth National Park are the three main chimp trekking sites in Uganda.

Because of the forest’s high population density and frequent sightings, Kibale Forest is the greatest area to go chimp trekking. One of Uganda’s most popular wildlife activities is chimpanzee trekking, which allows you to explore the world of wild chimps. Interpretive Rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority lead a small party (maximum of 8) into the world of the chimps.

The hikes run about three hours and include a maximum of 60 minutes with the chimps, during which you can expect to observe them from an 8-10 meter safe but intimate distance. Discover the beauty, intelligence, and social dynamics of chimpanzees up close.

Kibale Forest National Park is Uganda’s leading chimpanzee trekking hotspot, with over 1,500 chimps. The rainforest is easy to reach from Kampala or Entebbe in South-West Uganda. Chimpanzee populations are abundant in the jungle, and the park has become synonymous with chimps. There’s a 90 percent probability of seeing chimps here, and the park is perfectly positioned along the south-western safari circuit, making it easy to combine with other activities.

Permits for tracking are required and can be obtained from the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Non-residents, foreign residents, and East African citizens pay USD 200/ $150/UShs150,000 for chimp observing in Kibale National Park, USD 50/ $50/USh30,000 in Kyambura Gorge (QENP), and USD 30/ $30/UShs20,000 in Semliki Wildlife Reserve, respectively.

Chimp Tracking Regulation

It’s best to reserve your chimp permit ahead of time, especially during high seasons. Children are not permitted to track chimps. While tracking chimps, do not clutter the forest. When you have sickness or diarrhea, it is not a good idea to trace chimps. Human diseases are contagious in chimps. When near the Chimpanzees, keep a distance of roughly 8 meters. If you’re near the chimps, don’t eat. They may come and brutally take it from you.

Don’t talk too loudly, make fun of chimps, or try to intimidate or provoke them. Flash photography is not permitted. Always follow the forest guides’ directions. Before going on a hike, try to go to the toilet. Without a guide, you should not go tracking. It is not permitted to smoke when tracking chimps.
