Kibale Forest National Park
Located in western Uganda, slightly off the Equator, Kibale National Park is an attractive, beautiful, and astonishing park in Uganda with varied tracts of tropical rain forest and a multiplicity of animals, with an annual temperature ranging between 14 and 27 degrees Celsius.
Prominently known as the “primate capital,” with 13 different primate species. It is home to more than 1,450 chimpanzees protected within its borders of 795 km2. It is by far the best place to see chimpanzees in East Africa. The chimpanzees have been habituated for over 26 years, giving you a chance to see the great apes in their natural environment. Children have to be 15 years and older to track the chimpanzees.
The forest’s varied altitude supports different habitats: woodland, Savannah, wet tropical forest, and semi-deciduous dry tropical forest, which gives the park the opportunity to host different wildlife that resides in the different habitats.
