allows you to step into the world of chimpanzees in the wild with the company of Uganda
Wildlife Authority Rangers who lead a small group (maximum of 8) into the kingdom of the
chimps. The treks last about three hours and include a maximum of one hour with the
Chimpanzees, during which you can expect to see them from a safe but intimate distance of
8-10 metres to discover their beauty, intelligence, and social structures. The provided rangers
are well trained about safety precautions, and have enough knowledge about these primates.
They can tell where, how and when the Chimps can be found and seen. They help interpret
the behaviours of the Chimpanzees. Chimpanzee trekking in kibale
