Chimpanzee Habituation Experience in Kibale National Park
Rwanda and Uganda are the most famous East African destinations where tourists can get to encounter, trek and meet with the Chimpanzee primates, in their natural habitat – the tropical rain forests of Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda and Kibale National Park in Uganda respectively. Chimpanzee Trekking activity is always a breathtaking adventure as you get to enjoy nature and share the environment of the mist covered rain forests with these apes that have 98.8% of our DNA, however there is also another unique adventure of Chimpanzee Habituation Experience in Kibale National Park that is one of its kind worth undertaking while on your Chimpanzee encounter safari.
Though Chimpanzee Trekking can be done in both Rwanda and Uganda, the unique and captivating activity of Chimpanzee Habituation Experience is only done in Kibale National Park in Uganda, The adventure experience is one of the most exhilarating and rewarding activities that allows visitors to spend the whole day with the wild Chimpanzees as they are being habituated which is not the case for a Chimpanzee trekking adventure where you trek and search for the apes in the rain forests and get to spend just an hour in a close distance with them on finding them.
Chimpanzee Habituation experience is really much more interesting and a special adventure, tourists are allowed to engage in all the habituation activities with the habituators and they get to relate and learn more about the chimps unlike for chimpanzee trekking.
On a full day of your Chimpanzee Habituation experience in Kibale National Park, wake up early morning with your packed lunch and in the company of your guide, or habituators and researchers, you will enter into the forest in order to find the chimpanzees before they leave their previous night nests, you will follow up the chimps throughout the day and observe them feeding, breastfeeding, mating, hunting, pant-hooting, playing and screaming, observe how they relate with fellow group members, watch the predominant males protect the group, until the time they will build new nests for their night.
You will get to learn how these wild chimpanzees behave before they are habituated or while in their process of being habituated to get used to human presence, which will give you the most amazing and unique encounter with the majestic chimpanzee apes.
After your Chimpanzee Habituation Experience in Kibale National Park, you can choose to also go for the normal Chimpanzee Trekking adventure and get to meet the already habituated Chimpanzee primates that will change your whole perspective about Chimps in the jungle creating beautiful moments for your safari. There is a lot more to do and see in Kibale National Park and tourists can complement this adventure with a nature walk to Bigodi Wetland sanctuary for bird watching and sights other numerous primates such as monkeys.
