Primate Lodge - Kibale National Park

Chimpanzee seen near Primate Lodge Kibale

Kibale Forest National Park plays host to a wide array of tropical plants and trees, making it home to the highest concentration and variety of primates in Africa.

Primate sightings are therefore plentiful – whether that be chimpanzees in the park itself  - with the gate and visitor briefing centre just 400m from the lodge - or on the easy-going Marsh Walk, where 5-6 different monkey species, such as colobus, red-tailed monkeys and grey-cheeked mangabeys are regularly seen on a single visit.

The Marsh Walk (located just outside the NP) should not be missed as it offers the oppourtunity to see 5-6 daiurnal primate species on a single visit.
