Chimpanzee & Gorilla Trekking Safari Bwindi, takes you to southwestern Uganda, and offers you a live experience of the world’s biggest primates, Chimpanzee in Kibale national forest park and the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable national park.
Kibale national Park is the best spot for chimpanzee tracking in the whole world with over 15000 Chimps, and two groups are open for habituation activities, and Kibale National Park has been declared the best place to view habituated chimpanzees with other primates, butterflies, monkeys, insects, birds and others.
We shall drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park on your transfers, at here you will get a chance to see tree climbing lions at the Ishasha sector, Elephants, birds, hippos, leopard, etc.
Bwindi Impenetrable national park is a thick dense forest with an altitude range between 1160m and 2607m above sea level, Bwindi impenetrable forest is a very true rain forest with steep slopes and valleys so trekking the gorillas can be hard because usually the visibility is very poor, for pictures one really needs very good camera. Bwindi forest has an average rainfall of 1500mm per year source of the major rivers that flows to lake Albert.
It is tailor-made and therefore subject to adjustment upon the client’s request to accommodate special interests.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern
Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. Its mist-covered
hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda's oldest and most
biologically diverse rainforests, which dates back over 25,000
years and contains almost 400 species of plants. More
famously, this “impenetrable forest” also protects an estimated
320 mountain gorillas – roughly half of the world‟s
population, including several habituated groups, which can be
This biologically diverse region also provides shelter to a further 120 mammals, including
several primate species such as baboons and chimpanzees, as well as elephants and antelopes.
There are around 350 species of birds hosted in this forest, including 23 Albertine Rift endemics.
Kibale National Park contains one of the loveliest and most varied tracts of tropical forest in
Uganda. Forest cover, interspersed with patches of grassland and swamp, dominates the northern
and central parts of the park on an elevated plateau. The park is home to a total of 70 mammal
species, most famously 13 species of primate including the chimpanzee.
It also contains over 375 species of birds. Kibale adjoins Queen Elizabeth National Park to the
south to create a 180km-long corridor for wildlife between Ishasha, the remote southern sector of
Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Sebitoli in the north of Kibale National Park.
