Day by Day Overview
Have breakfast early this morning and then you will be heading to Kibale Forest National Park, which will take you about 5-6 hours from Kampala via Fort Portal City with lunch en route at Fort Portal. You will check into the lodge at Kibale afterward for the rest of the evening relaxation and night stay.
Enjoy early morning breakfast, then transfer to Kanyanchu for a briefing about chimpanzee trekking rules and regulations. The park office will also put you in different groups each constituting 6 pax, and later you’ll be led by a park guide for actual chimpanzee tracking experience, expected to take 2-4 hours. This includes one hour every visitor can spend face to face with the chimpanzee community. What makes the chimp trek in Kibale exceptional is that you also get exposed to a diversity of other primates, forest birds, plants, and butterflies. Retreat after an incredible moment with chimps in the wild, have lunch at leisure, and spend the afternoon exploring Bigodi Sanctuary, which is home to diverse birds including great blue turacos plus lots of primates. Your guided nature walk experience will get you exposed to the sanctuary’s distinct species of primates and birds.

After your 2-6 hours gorilla search and 1-hour magical encounter, walk back. Relax and later in the afternoon, enjoy a short cultural walk to the Batwa community for authentic African cultural experiences.
