TOUR UG5: Chimps And Birds in Kibale Forest (4 Days)
This safari starts and finishes in Kampala
Kibale Forest has the highest number of primates in Africa
- thirteen species in all, including red, black and white
colobus, blue monkeys and baboons and a large number of chimpanzees.
A forest- walk provides a high possibility of seeing and hearing
the vast number of chimps and other primates playing and jumping
around through the forest. With over 300 bird species recorded
in the forest, Kibale boasts of many rewarding experiences
not thought of in some other forests of Africa. An excursion
to Bigodi and Magombe wetlands gives the opportunity of seeing
the unusual birds, chimps, baboons, monkeys and other primates
which live around the swamp. Money paid for Bigodi and Magombe
goes directly to the local communities.
