Uganda Chimpanzee tracking Safari for Two Days
Uganda Chimpanzee tracking Safari for Two Days, takes you to Budongo Forest Reserve located in Murchison Falls National Park and has an area of 793 square kilometers, with 53% of the territory covered by forest and the remainder by grassland. This forest reserve is home to a diverse range of animal species, including 465 tree species, 24 mammal species, 9 primate species, 289 butterfly species, 359 bird species, and 130 moth species. The forest is particularly well-known for its mahogany trees and chimps, which number between 600 and 700. There are six groups of chimps that are used for trekking, and tourists have a good opportunity of viewing these monkeys all year.
The activity begins at 7:00 a.m., and the instructors will lead you around while you look for these unusual primates who share 98% of their DNA with humans. Depending on where they are on a given day, the activity may last 30 minutes or all day. Only children aged seven and older are permitted to follow the chimps, and groups are limited to a maximum of six persons per group.
