Kibale Guides

Kibale National Park is a premier East African biodiversity hotspot, protecting a 795-square-kilometer tropical forest that supports over 375 bird species alongside the highest density and diversity of primates in Africa. For birders, the ultimate prize is the rare Green-breasted Pitta, best sought in the early morning near the Kanyanchu hub, while primate enthusiasts flock here to track some of the 1,500 Chimpanzees that swing through the canopy. Beyond these highlights, a single walk can reveal unique avian endemics like the Nahan’s Francolin alongside several of the park’s 13 primate species, including the endangered Ashy Red Colobus, the L’Hoest’s monkey, and the nocturnal Bushbaby.
