When guidebooks (and we!) mention that Uganda has the world’s highest concentration of primates, they’re usually referring to Kibale National Park. This lush rainforest is home to 13 primate species, including the rare red colobus and blue monkeys, but it’s the chimpanzees that steal the show. Visitors can enjoy morning or afternoon treks to watch these lively primates, or join a full-day habituation experience – an unforgettable encounter. The park’s scenic forest trails are a paradise for bird lovers, butterfly enthusiasts, and plant admirers.
