3-Day Kibale Chimpanzee Tracking Safari

Three days built around chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, widely regarded as one of the best places in East Africa to see wild chimpanzees on foot.

What Kibale offers

Kibale protects one of Uganda's most significant chimpanzee populations, alongside a dozen or so other primate species and rich forest birdlife. Tracking is on foot, through genuine tropical forest, following habituated chimpanzee communities with an experienced guide. Many itineraries also include the nearby Bigodi wetland walk, a good complement covering different habitat and birdlife.

What three days involves

A short, forest-based itinerary with chimpanzee tracking as the central activity. Physically moderate compared with Rwenzori trekking — this suits travellers wanting a lower-intensity wildlife addition to a longer Uganda trip.Chimpanzee tracking permits are priced by Uganda Wildlife Authority, and the tariff was revised in 2026; we quote the current rate when you enquire.We send the full day-by-day itinerary, accommodation standard and a complete inclusions list with your quote.

A natural pairing

Kibale sits on the Fort Portal road route between Kampala and Kasese, making this a genuinely convenient stop for anyone travelling to or from a Rwenzori trek by that route — see our Rwenzori and Kibale chimpanzees combination for that specific pairing.
