Kibale National Park, renowned as the primate capital of the world, is a major draw for tourists visiting Uganda. The park is famous for its high density of chimpanzees and various other primates, offering exceptional chimpanzee trekking experiences. Guided walks are essential for navigating the forest and spotting wildlife, making solo visits impractical. The best time to visit is during the dry seasons (June-August and December-February) for easier trekking conditions, while the rainy seasons (March-May and September-November) can make trails slippery and challenging. Permits for chimpanzee trekking are required and can cost around $200 per person. A typical visit duration is 2-3 days to fully experience the chimpanzee treks and other activities such as bird watching and nature walks. Accessibility within the park can be limited, with uneven terrain, so visitors should be prepared for moderate to strenuous physical activity.
