Trek Wild Chimps in Kibale
The Primate Capital of the World
Uganda is home to the highest concentration of primates on Earth. Kibale Forest National Park alone hosts over 1,500 chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, making it the single best place in Africa to track wild chimpanzees. With Roam Beyond Tours, your chimpanzee tracking experience goes beyond a simple walk in the forest. Our local guides, born and raised near these forests, know every family group, every trail, and every call.
Track chimps at dawn as the forest erupts with their whoops and screams. Watch them hunt, play, groom, and socialize in ways that mirror human behaviour. Combine your chimp track with a gorilla trek for Uganda's ultimate primate experience, all on a flexible monthly payment plan.
