Chimpanzees are known to be man’s closest relatives sharing about 99% DNA with humans and yet declining in number in the wild. Today, they are estimated to be about 170,000 – 300,000 chimpanzees remaining in the wild and Uganda alone has more than 5000 chimpanzees in the wild.

Kibale Forest National Park alone has about 1,500 chimpanzees earning itself the slogan “primate capital of the world” since it’s the world’s single destination with that much of chimpanzees. Kibale Forest is the best Uganda chimpanzee trekking safari destination with the most interesting interactions.

Chimpanzees are the top primate safari in Uganda attraction for many tourists. They can also be trekked at other destinations like Budongo Forest adjacent to Murchison Falls National Park, Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kalinzu forest, Toro-Semliki wildlife reserve.
