Trip Overview

On the 5-Day Uganda Primates Safari, you explore Uganda's two major primates which include chimpanzees and Mountain gorillas. You will start in Kibale National Park the primate capital of the world. This forested national park is located in western Uganda. It is home to 13 primates and other wildlife species including chimpanzees and many other mammals. There are habituated chimpanzee communities here and you will hike following one of them. You will have the normal chimpanzee trekking experience spending one hour in the presence of the chimpanzees. It is also possible to do the chimpanzee habituation experience where you will spend more time in the presence of the chimpanzees.

From here Visit Queen Elizabeth National Park for a savanna wildlife safari and a Kazinga channel boat cruise where you will see several birds. The park is among the most diverse protected areas in Uganda with mainly savanna wildlife and primates as well. You will have a game drive in the Ishasha sector where you will spot safari animals like elephants, the Topi, waterbucks, and if lucky the tree-climbing lions.

You will end the 5-Day Uganda Primates safari with a mountain gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where you will meet the mountain gorillas in their most preferred habitats. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has the highest mountain gorilla population of all mountain gorilla national parks and it is therefore the best gorilla trekking destination.
