Kibale Forest National Park

Chimpanzee Capital of the World

Kibale National Park protects one of the most varied tracts of tropical rainforest in Uganda. It is home to the highest density of primates in Africa, with 13 species including over 1,500 chimpanzees. Chimpanzee tracking here has one of the highest success rates in East Africa. The forest also holds forest elephants, buffalo, and over 375 bird species. Kibale's Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary next door is run by the community and is one of the best birding walks in the country.
