Kibale National Park

296 sq miles in size, Kibale National park is considered one of the most beautiful in Uganda with terrain ranging from tropical forests to sweeping savannahs and woodlands on the Rift Valley floor.

Located some 200 miles west of Kampala, the part was designated in 1993 and is home to around seventy mammal species as well as 375 species of birds including include the White-spotted Flufftail, Yellow-spotted Barbet, Hairy-breasted Barbet, Yellow-billed Barbet, Western Nicator, Grey-winged Robin-chat, White-tailed Ant-thrush, Brown-backed Scrub-robin, Black-and-white Shrike-flycatcher, Brown-throated Wattle-eye, Superb Sunbird,

Brown-crowned Tchagra, Bocage's Bush-shrike, Black Bishop, White-breasted Negrofinch and Black-crowned Waxbill among others. One of the park's main attractions, though, is its chimpanzee tracking experience along the Kanyanchu Primate Walk where 13 species of chimpanzees can be seen going about their daily routines. The people living in and around Kibale National Park are mostly Batoro and Bakiga with the Batoro being native to the area later joined by incoming Bakiga from south-western Uganda.

The park is divided into seven zones for management purposes: research, natural reserve, civic-cultural, recreation, harvest, community and protection with an emphasis on conservation. There are many places to stay in the park and accommodation including safari lodges which though sometimes expensive help you make the most of your stay rather than travelling in each day from towns such as Fort Portal over 20 miles away to its north.
