Kibale National Park

Kibale National Park is the primate capital of the world, home to 13 primate species including the largest population of wild chimpanzees in Uganda — approximately 1,500 individuals. This 766-square-kilometre block of lowland and montane tropical rainforest in western Uganda offers the best chimpanzee tracking experience in East Africa. Beyond chimpanzees, the forest shelters red colobus monkeys, L'Hoest's monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabeys, olive baboons, and the rare and nocturnal potto. The park is also an exceptional birding destination with over 375 species, including the Green-breasted Pitta and African Pitta. The Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary on the park's southern boundary provides superb community-managed nature walks.
