4-Day Chimpanzee Habituation and Trekking

Planning a primate safari in Uganda? Primate Safari Experiences offers an amazing 4-day tour to see both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees.

You’ll visit the mountain gorillas in two national parks in southwestern Uganda: Mgahinga National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

For chimpanzee viewing, head to Ngamba Island, located on Lake Victoria. Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, or ‘Chimp Island,’ is home to over 40 orphaned chimpanzees. Visitors can watch the chimps from a raised platform as they come out for feeding twice a day, at 11am and 2:30pm
