Kibale Chimpanzee Habituation Experience

Kibale National Park, Uganda

About this experience

The chimpanzee habituation experience in Kibale lets you spend most of a day with researchers and a chimp community still being habituated. Starting early, you may see the chimps leave their night nests, then follow them as they feed, travel, rest and socialise.

It is a slower, more immersive alternative to standard tracking and gives a deep understanding of chimpanzee behaviour and conservation.

Highlights

  • Dawn to afternoon with the chimps
  • Researcher-led insight
  • Small group sizes

Good to know

Best for

When to go
Year-round; availability is limited in some months.
