Finding Chimpanzee in Uganda
Looking for the chimpanzee in Uganda? Start with Kibale National Park, where access and habitat make a sighting more likely than a chance roadside glimpse.
Kibale National Park in Western Uganda is the place to begin. Primate capital of the world, with habituated chimpanzee communities and 12 other primate species in lush rainforest. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.
Uganda context: Chimpanzees in the rainforest, gorillas in the mountains, and the source of the Nile.
In Uganda, look especially around tropical rainforest and woodland savanna. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
