Set at an altitude of 1200m, Kibale Forest National Park is home to chimpanzee, baboon, red and white colobus monkeys and other large mammals like the bushbuck, Sitatunga, duicker, buffalo and forest elephant. It holds around 600 chimpanzees and a large population of elephants.
Mountain gorillas, chimps, tree-climbing lions and an astonishing tally of 1,080 bird species are among the many attractions that lure wildlife enthusiasts to Uganda. Situated at the ecological crossroads of the eastern savannah and western jungle, this well-watered country is also home to Africa’s largest lake and the snowcapped peaks of the legendary Mountains of the Moon. Elsewhere, the seething headwaters of the world’s longest river offer superb white-water rafting and host the breathtakingly eruptive Murchison Falls. True, you might face some difficult choices when it comes to deciding which highlights to include in a 5-day Uganda itinerary, but whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed by this truly amazing country.
