Kibale National Park is Uganda’s premier destination for chimpanzee trekking safaris in Africa and home to one of the largest concentrations of primates worldwide. Over 1,500 chimpanzees thrive in the dense forest, and visitors can join expert-guided treks for close encounters with these intelligent and playful creatures. Beyond chimpanzees, the park hosts 12 other primate species including red colobus monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and grey-cheeked mangabeys. Nature walks and birding safaris add to the adventure, with over 375 recorded bird species.

Top luxury accommodations elevate the experience. Kyaninga Lodge, with its crater lake views, and Ndali Lodge, overlooking tea plantations, offer stunning settings, while Primate Lodge Kibale places you right at the forest’s edge. Kibale is a must for travelers combining gorilla trekking in Bwindi with chimpanzee safaris, offering one of the most complete primate experiences in East Africa.
