Kibale Forest Chimpanzee permits – chimpanzee tours in Uganda.

Permits to track primates in Kibale Forest National Park, Kalinzu Ecotourism Site, Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Budongo Forest in Murchison Falls National Park are among the locations in Uganda where travelers interested in tracking primates must obtain comprehensive information. Permits for Kyambura Gorge and Kibale Forest Chimpanzees are reserved at the Uganda Wildlife Authority headquarters, which are located in Kampala, close to the Uganda Museum.

Obtaining Chimpanzee Permits for Kibale Forest

We usually ask that you inform us of the day, month, and year that our guests who are interested in tracking chimpanzees plan to trek, as well as the location, when reserving permits. After that, Monumental Expeditions and Safaris will determine whether chimpanzee permits are available for your preferred location on those particular days.

If chimpanzee permits become available, we’ll let you know so you may pay into our account. Once we get your money, we’ll reserve your chimpanzee permits along with all other services in accordance with your safari itinerary. As the primate capital of Africa, Uganda makes your safari experience unforgettable by providing chimpanzee tracking along with other activities like boat safaris, wildlife viewing, gorilla tracking, and tracking golden monkeys.

Monumental Expeditions and Safaris specializes in group and custom safaris and tours to all ten of Uganda’s national parks. They also offer reliable and timely information on how to book gorilla and chimpanzee permits for your walk. Uganda Lodges arranges chimpanzee permits for Budongo Forest, whereas the National Forest Authority, which oversees Uganda’s forest reserves, handles reservations for chimpanzee permits for Kalinzu Ecotourism Site.

Cost of Chimpanzee Permits in Uganda

In Uganda, chimpanzee permits can be obtained through several offices and come at varying rates. The cost of an ape permit in Kibale Forest is $200 per person for each trip, while the cost of a permit in Kyambura Gorge, located in Queen Elizabeth National Park, is $100 per person. These permits can be reserved and paid at the Uganda Wildlife Authority headquarters.

Note that the minimum age to track chimpanzees in Uganda is twelve (12) years old. Please confirm this before reserving a permit. In all chimpanzee tracking locations, tracking is conducted in two shifts each day, the first one taking place in the morning and the second one in the afternoon. The chimpanzee population in Kibale Forest National Park is approximately 150 individuals.

To avoid rivalry over food, community members disperse into smaller groups throughout the day, then come together in the evening to construct nests that will last through the night. An armed ranger guide can accompany up to six individuals on a chimpanzee tracking excursion.
