Visitors walking through forest as wild chimpanzees move across the trail in Kibale National Park.

Chimpanzee Tracking

Kibale is the world capital of chimpanzee encounters. Guided treks lead you into thick rainforest where chimps hoot, play and swing through the canopy.

Murchison Falls National Park

Game drives reveal lions, elephants, hippos and Rothschild’s giraffes, but the true star is Murchison Falls itself.
