• After breakfast, you will drive to Kibale National Park Headquarters for a briefing on the dos and don'ts of chimpanzee trekking. You will be divided into small groups of six people, each led by one guide, who will then take you into the forest to find one of the chimpanzee families. Chimpanzees live in communities of between 50 and 150 individuals, but they usually break up into small parties during the day to reduce competition for food. They then regroup in the evening to build their nests. Once you find the chimps, you will be allowed to spend one hour with them before returning to the lodge for lunch. After lunch, you will head out for a wetland walk in nearby Bigodi Village. Kibale National Park is popular for its 12 recorded primate species and several bird species.
