Chimpanzees, Game and Birds in Kibale & Queen Elizabeth Park | 6 Days Chimps, Birds, Game in Kibale Forest & Queen Elizabeth



UGANDA CHIMPANZEES, WILDLIFE & BIRDS TOUR : WILDLIFE, CHIMPS AND BIRDS IN KIBALE AND QUEEN ELIZABETH PARK (6 Days)

 

 





Kibale Forest has the highest number of primates in
Africa - thirteen species in all, including red, black and white
colobus, blue monkeys and baboons and a large number of chimpanzees. A
forest walk provides a high possibility of seeing and hearing and
seeing chimps, birds and other primates playing around through the
forest. An excursion to Bigodi wetland gives the opportunity of seeing
the unusual birds and other primates which live around the swamp.
Continue to Queen Elizabeth National Park (QE), below the famous
Rwenzori mountains, an African savannah park, consisting of plain
surroundings. The launch trip along the Kazinga Channel is especially
rewarding for viewing hippo, buffalo, elephant and a large host of
birds amounting to over 500 species! The beautiful steeply forested
Kyambura Gorge nearby, is home not only to chimpanzees but also the
red-tailed monkey, black and white colobus and many bird species.
