After having breakfast early in the morning, assemble at Kanyankyu River camp at 0800 hours to go for the most popular activity in this park which is Chimpanzee tracking.

Kibale National park, which averages about 3,300 feet in elevation, is an extension of the great rain forests of central Africa. It is inhabited by three large communities of chimps, each numbering more than 100 individuals. Each community has a complicated social structure. The big adult males dominate the group and defend the community territory against incursions by male outsiders; the females usually wander in small family groups.
Typically, we locate the chimps by listening for their pant-hooting calls, then hustle to the area from which they are calling. We get to observe them as they feed in fruiting trees, lounge, and socialize with each other, or even, occasionally hunt.
There after we shall drive back to Entebbe airport via Kampala for your departure in the evening and end of the 4 Days Gorillas and Chimpanzee Trekking Trip offers 2023 to 2024 trip.
