While trekking in the jungle, the guide tells you more about the chimpanzees, other primates, and local flora and fauna, making for an interesting adventure.

The dense jungles of Kibale are the best place to view chimpanzees in Africa. The chimpanzees are commonly found feeding on fig tree fruits in the game park and have been habituated to humans since 1992. Kibale National Park covers 795sq km and consists mostly of a vast tract of equatorial rainforest. This national park is home to numerous forest wildlife species, boasting one of the highest concentrations of primates in the world. In the afternoon, we'll travel south to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, taking in the sights and looking out for the resident game as we drive.

Amazing gorilla Adventure

08-Apr-2024

This was one of the best adventures I have ever done, had an amazing experience up close with gorillas. The moment was really worth it seeing these apes in wild jungle. It recommendable safari for those who was to enjoy moment with these apes. This tour operator organized everything for me and communications between me and Laura was so amazing and first, she provided all the necessary information and stayed in touch until the safari was finished. With amazing communications from them and the organization they made my safari so amazing, highly recommend them to anyone for your gorilla safari.

Best Uganda Guides

08-Apr-2024

had a wonderful time in Uganda, being 'guided' by Eddie from Birchill Expeditions, who was always informative and attentive. I knew I wanted to track gorillas, beyond that, I left it up to Eddie. Everything he organized was worth every moment, every penny...gorilla trekking in Bwindi, water safari on Lake Edward, chimp trekking in Kalinzu Forest Reserve and more animal sightings in Queen Elizabeth NP. Accommodations were thoughtfully chosen to allow for relaxation/rest at the end of each day. I'd book again with Birchill Expeditions for more adventures, I highly recommend them.
