Kibale National Park

Kibale National Park in Uganda is home to one of the highest population densities, and richest diversities of primates in Africa. The evergreen rain forest is home to the largest population of chimpanzees at over 1400 individuals. A few hundred of these wild chimps have been habituated in order to allow humans to view them in their natural habitat. Twelve other monkey species including Uganda Mangabeys, both Red and Black Colobi, L'Hoest's Monkeys and Blue monkeys are all native to this area, making it a remarkable safari destination for those interested in primates. Tracking the chimpanzees in the park is not particularly strenuous, and there is at an 80 percent chance of spotting chimpanzees. The park is adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, while Semuliki National Park and Rwenzori National Park are a short distance away, making it an ideal destination on any Ugandan safari.
