Where This Fits in a Uganda Itinerary
Kibale Forest National Park, near Fort Portal, is best known for chimpanzee tracking and is a natural stop on a western Uganda circuit that links Queen Elizabeth with Bwindi.
They give younger travellers something to do while older members of the group track gorillas or chimpanzees. Whatever you choose, build days around travel time: driving distances between the parks are long, and early starts are normal on a Uganda safari. If you are comparing destinations, start with Uganda's national parks and our Uganda safaris and tours.
