Day 2 and 3, February 26 and 27 Kibale Forest National Park

We drive to Kibale and take a guided Chimpanzee walk on each of the 26th and the 27th, through this fascinating forest, following the well-marked trails. Depending on where we find the Chimpanzees, our walks could take from 30 minutes to six hours. Chimpanzees have a close DNA match to humans and they are boisterous and fun to watch. They can move quickly and unpredictably which all adds to the adventure. The 766-square-kilometre tropical rain forest is the natural habitat for an amazing 12 species of primates, and contains the highest primate density of an area on earth. We may also see Red Colobus Monkeys chattering and swinging through the ancient forest trees. Some of the trees are 50 to 60 meters (150 to 180 feet) in height, and provide a majestic canopy for the profusion of rain forest life, including 325 bird species. Even though you may not always see them, the park is home to the largest population of Forest Elephant in Uganda, and is also home to Buffalo, Uganda Kob, Genet, Civet, Waterbuck and Bushbuck. After lunch we visit the Bigodi forest swamp which is excellent for viewing more primates, birds and other forest animals.
