Chimp tracking in Uganda is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences available on the continent.

There are 3 major chimp trekking destinations in Uganda: Kibale Forest National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Kibale Forest is the best place for chimp trekking, as the forest has high population densities and sightings are most common here.

Home to around 1,500 chimpanzees, Kibale Forest National Park is the main chimpanzee trekking destination in Uganda.

Located in South-West Uganda, the rainforest is easily accessible from Kampala or Entebbe.

The forest has excellent chimp populations, and the park has become synonymous with chimpanzees. The chances of sightings here are at 90% or more, and the park sits along the south-western safari circuit so is easy to combine with other experiences.

The tracking excursions depart twice a day at 08:00 and 14:00 and the morning excursions are busier since many itineraries combine it with an afternoon visit to the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary.

Chimpanzee trekking is a popular activity in Uganda, attracting many tourists. Similar to gorilla trekking, it entails navigating through the forest in search of the playful chimpanzees swinging from tree to tree. The trek can last a few hours, but the reward is spending an hour with the chimpanzees before returning to camp. It's a unique and memorable experience that allows visitors to observe these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. If you're looking for an adventure that brings you close to nature and wildlife, chimpanzee trekking in Uganda is definitely a must-do activity.
