In this article, here’s all you need to know about embarking on the chimpanzee safaris in Uganda and Rwanda.
In Uganda travellers can participate in both chimpanzee trekking and chimpanzee habituation which is not the case for Rwanda where you can only participate in chimpanzee trekking which can be carried out in Gishwati Mukura national park, a newly opened national park in Uganda and Nyungwe forest national park the primate hub in Rwanda. Chimpanzee trekking in Uganda is carried out in Kibale National Park and Kyambura gorge in Queen Elizabeth national park, Budongo forest and chimpanzee habituation in Kibale national park.
Chimpanzee trekking is quite an active activity which is involves following the chimpanzee troops to observe their behavior in the wild watching how they co-exist with one another and how they co-exist with one another and the wild that will give you the most rewarding experience while you hike through the forests as you observe a number of rewarding safari experience. Chimpanzee habituation on the other hand involves visiting the species to watch how they are trained to get accustomed to human presence and interesting about the safari is the fact that you will also get to participate in the training sessions as you watch how the species are trained to get accustomed to human presence which will give you the chance to spend more time with the species compared to when you participate in chimpanzee trekking where species are already accustomed to human presence.
For travellers interested in combining both Uganda and Rwanda, you will have the opportunity to combine two national parks like participating in chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe National Park and then participating in chimpanzee habituation in kibale national park to observe how the species are trained to get accustomed to human presence for a rewarding safari experience and also give you the chance to spend more hours with the species which is longer compared to chimpanzee trekking which only gives you an hour with the species.
Both kibale national park and Nyungwe forest national park are the primate hub for both Uganda and Rwanda with larger habituated chimpanzee troops compared to other destinations where you can access the habituated troops where the main chimpanzee trekking is carried out.
