Chimpanzee trekking is a popular activity for tourists visiting Uganda. Similar to gorilla trekking, it involves hiking through the forest to find chimpanzees, who are often seen swinging from tree to tree. The trek can take a few hours, and once you find the chimpanzees, you get to spend an hour with them before returning to the camp.

Uganda offers several destinations for chimpanzee trekking, with Kibale Forest National Park being the most prominent. Other locations include Budongo Forest in Murchison Falls National Park, Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Semuliki Wildlife Reserve, and Kalinzu Forest.

The trek usually begins early in the morning, with guides providing important instructions. Along the way, you might also spot other wildlife like red-tailed monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys, and a variety of birds.
