The green and shady Kibale forest in the spectacular Great Rift Valley is the setting for chimpanzee tracking. The forest hosts 12 primate species, tropical birds and butterflies. Marvel at the over 300 bird species and different kinds of butterflies. Watch the chimpanzees play in the forest canopy. Head out for big game viewing in crater-dotted foothills beneath the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains, looking for elephants, lions, leopards, and the Kob, “Uganda's special antelope”.

Day 1  
Arrive at the Entebbe International airport where you will be welcomed by your Equatorial Wild safaris guide and transferred by private vehicle to Kibale National Park. You will stop over in Fort portal town for lunch before driving to the hotel reserved for you to stay prior to your chimpanzee tracking tomorrow. After checking in, you will go for a guided walk in Bigodi Swamp to look for different bird species like the Shining Blue Kingfisher, Blue Throated Roller and other rare species and also find the fruiting trees, which attract Narina Trogon, Pied Hornbill, Yellow Spotted, Hairy Breasted and Yellow-Billed Barbets.

Dinner and overnight (Budget, medium and Luxury accommodation available)

Day 2   
After breakfast, report to the ranger station in Kibale National Park at 08.00hrs to track habituated chimps – these delightful apes, more closely related to humans than to any other living creature, are tremendous fun to watch as they squabble and play in fruiting trees. The incredibly diverse forest is home to over 13 species of primates including red Colobus monkey, the rare L’Hoest, blue monkey, grey mangabey, pottos, black faced vervet monkeys, baboons and also bushbabies. A network of shady forest trails provides much to delight botanists and butterfly lovers, while birders are in for a treat with 335 species recorded including the endemic Prirogrine’s ground thrush. The elusive forest elephant, smaller and hairier that its savannah counterpart, moves seasonally into the developed part of the park, while other terrestrial mammals include buffalo, giant forest hog and a half dozen antelope species. After this wonderful experience, we will depart to Kampala arriving in the late afternoon.
