Chimpanzee tracking
Track a habituated chimpanzee community on foot through Kibale in Uganda or Nyungwe in Rwanda.
About Chimpanzee tracking
Kibale has the strongest sighting record in Africa, so we build Uganda itineraries around it, with a four hour habituation option for anyone who wants longer than the standard hour. Nyungwe is quieter and steeper, and it pairs with the canopy walkway sixty metres above the forest floor. Treks start early, so we sleep close to the trailhead.
