www.inkampala.com There are some people who walk through the forest with the poise and grace of a gazelle. They don’t slip in the mud and trip over roots. They’re quiet, contemplative and at one with nature. I am not one of those people. I like nature well enough. I like being out in it from time to time and admiring... More

Tracking the chimpanzee is a very interesting experience. The way they feed, climb trees, respond to humans, caring for their young ones, is just phenomenal. There are three chimpanzee groups in Kibale Forest National Park which are habituated and only six people per group in the morning and evening session. Kibale has over 1450 chimpanzees which represents Uganda's largest population... More

Took a special hire from Fort Portal here and spend like 4 hours hiking the forest and saw numerous monkeys. Also a few chips. Unfortunately it had rained before and Chimps don't like wet ground, so they stayed high up in the trees. The forest itself is beautiful as well. Great way to spend half a day in the wild. More

Chimp Tracking was really cool. You hook up with the local Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers who start you tracking off into the jungle. It took us several hours to actually find the chimps, but that was part of the journey, and you can hear them screaming, aka going [--], in the jungle off and on, and that is part of... More

I just did the chimp habituation experience at the Kibale National Park. I have to say that this was one of the best excursions I have gone through in Uganda. You can spend a full day among chimpanzees and move along with them through the rain forest. I could not believe how close I could get to these chimps and... More

Visiting Kibale to see the chimpanzees is beautiful, but there are also monkeys, birds and butterflies to see. There is one animal that you really need to watch for: fire ants! When you go trekking here, be sure to have thick, long pants and thick, long socks, so that you can tuck your pants into your socks for protection. Otherwise,... More

Spending an entire day with the chimps, from locating them via their pant hoots in the morning to them nesting at night. As it is a small group (Ranger plus max of 4) it would seem that you get much closer to the chimps than often happens during the larger group chimp walks. The trekking is hard though as you... More
