Kibale National Park is the best that you should not miss while on your tours in Uganda you can book for chimpanzee habituation at $220 for the chimp permit. Years ago, it used to be that you had a 20% chance of seeing chimpanzees in the wild, today because of the habituation process that has increased to over 90%. It means an early breakfast – a packed lunch in groups of 4 individuals and you are off before dawn breaks into the forest. You meet your guide and you are off to where the chimpanzees built nests the night before.

Dawn is just breaking and the chimpanzee community you are going to be with the rest of the day is rising from their sleep. Your day will be full, your camera will fill up with quality pictures of the chimpanzees and you will get to learn to identify them as individuals by their markings, sometimes scars and other unique features that make them stand apart from rest. The habituation is done best in the months of March, April, May and November, when there is less tourist congestion though it works all year at your convenient time.
The day ends as the chimpanzees climb into their newly built nests for the evening and you head back to your lodging for the evening. All this is brought to you by Nature Adventure Uganda at an affordable price. Book now to avoid missing out this amazing experience of lifetime.
