Kibale forest is one of the finest places in the world to watch and observe primates. The forest is home to 13 primate species, more than any other East African park, along with a substantial population of habituated chimpanzees. The chimp tracking takes place twice a day and is the park's main attraction. In addition, the park authorities offer fantastic night walks, which is a great opportunity to search for nocturnal primates.
