Kibale National Park

Kibale National Park protects one of Africa’s most remarkable primate communities with roughly 1,500 chimpanzees and 12 other primate species. Standard treks depart from Kanyanchu; combine with Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary for birds and community tourism. Ideal add-on before or after Queen Elizabeth or Bwindi.
