5 Days Uganda Chimpanzee and Wildlife Budget Safari

Chimpanzee trekking is an interesting activity that starts at 8:00am and takes from 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on where the chimpanzees are located because they like to move from one place to another in search for food especially the dry season.

During the trekking you will be able to see other primates like the red-tailed monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys, grey cheeked mangabey, and vervet monkeys, and view some bird species, mammals, and plant species. Once the chimpanzees are found you will be able to spend one hour with them in their natural habitat which gives you an opportunity to learn about their behaviors, habits, watch them feed, fight, play, hunt, mate, take photos and record the moments.
