Day by day
Kampala → Kibale Forest
Drive west via Fort Portal, arriving at your forest-edge lodge in the afternoon with time to settle in before the following day's habituation experience.
Chimpanzee Habituation Experience
Depart at dawn with researchers and trackers to find a semi-habituated chimpanzee community and follow them from their night nests through a full day of feeding, resting and socialising, far longer than the standard one-hour trek allows.
Bigodi Wetland & Departure
Morning guided walk through the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary for primates, birdlife and butterflies, before the drive back to Kampala.
