Kibale National Park is renowned for its extraordinary primate diversity, and the Kanyanchu Primate Walk stands as the park’s flagship experience. This immersive trek offers visitors a rare chance to encounter 13 different primate species, with diurnal monkeys such as red colobus, black-and-white colobus, L’Hoest’s monkey, and grey-cheeked mangabey frequently spotted in the forest canopy. However, the undisputed highlight of this walk is the Kibale chimpanzees—one of Uganda’s greatest wildlife spectacles.
Since 1993, the Kanyanchu chimpanzee community has been intensively monitored and habituated to human presence, significantly improving the chances of sightings. With a sighting success rate of over 90%, visitors are almost guaranteed an unforgettable encounter with these intelligent primates in their natural habitat.
