3 days Chimpanzee tracking takes place in Kibale Forest National Park, which is located in southwest Uganda. The forest is home to Uganda’s largest number of primates, chimpanzees. Because of its unique status as the “primate capital of the world,” it has long been regarded as the ideal place for trekking chimpanzees in their native habitats.
