3 Days Kibale Chimpanzee Habituation Tour.
Day 1: Pickup from Kampala/ Entebbe and Transfer to Kibale National Park
Based on your location in Kampala or Entebbe, our driving guide will pick you up from your accommodation, inform you about the safari, and then begin the journey to Kibale National Park, located in western Uganda. The drive takes around 5 to 6 hours, and along the route you will see amazing vistas of the countryside, terrain, farmlands, and roadside markets. You will stop in Fort Portal for lunch before continuing to Kibale National Park for a wonderful wildlife trek via Bigodi wetland.
Throughout the nature walk, you will be able to see many bird species, flora, and primates such as black and white colobus monkeys, l’Hoest monkeys, grey cheeked mangabeys, and olive baboons, among others. Following the swamp tour, you will drive to the resort for dinner and stay.
Day 2: Chimpanzee Habituation Experience
On the second day, after an early breakfast, you will bring your lunch box and meet your driving guide at the park headquarters for a lecture on the laws, regulations, and expectations for chimp habituation. Following the briefing, you will begin walking through the jungle with a group of researchers, trackers, game rangers, and park guides.
During Chimpanzee trekking, you will be able to see other primates, bird species, mammals, plant and tree species, and once the chimps in the habituation process are found, you will be able to spend four hours with them in their natural environment, observing their habits and behaviors, watching them feed, hunt, fight, play, rest, breastfeed, and groom young ones, among other things.
After your face-to-face encounter with the chimps during the habituation process, you will return to the park headquarters and meet your driving guide before returning to the lodge for an evening of leisure, dinner, and overnight at your lodge.
Day 3: Transfer Back to Kampala/Entebbe.
On the last day of the safari, after breakfast, you will check out of the lodge and meet your driver guide for the travel to Kampala. On the route, you will stop in Mbarara for lunch before continuing to Kampala, where you will arrive early in the evening. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off to Entebbe International Airport for your departure flight or at a location of your choice.
