Kibale Forest National Park located in western Uganda is a 766 sq.Km/296sq.mi tropical rain forest gazetted in 1932 and formally established in 1993 to protect a large area of forest previously managed as a logged forest reserve.

The currently protected Kibale forest National park is part of the once continuous animal corridor that connected this montane forest with the present-day Queen Elizabeth National park.

Kibale Forest National Park is home to 13 primate species including the chimpanzee.  Besides the 13 primates, there are other mammals that are found within Kibale National Park; red and blue duikers, bushbucks, sitatungas, bushpigs, giant forest hogs, common warthogs, African elephants, and African buffalo. There are also a few carnivores that are present in this park; African golden cats, servals, different mongooses, and two species of otter.

Birdlife in Kibale Forest is also prolific. The park boasts 325 species of birds, including the olive long-tailed cuckoo, western tinkerbird, two species of pittas (African and green-breasted), and the grey parrot. The ground thrush is endemic to Kibale Forest National Park.

Queen Elizabeth National Park

---

Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda’s premier game viewing destination and one of the most biologically diverse parks in the world, not least thanks to its mind-boggling bird list of 610 species.

Located in southwest Uganda, the park’s famous tree-climbing lions are its undisputed wildlife stars but visitors on a Queen Elizabeth National Park safari can also expect to see elephants, hippo, crocodiles, buffalo and plenty of antelope species.

But the park’s real reward lies in its ability to offer a diverse range of safari activities. A boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel is almost obligatory, given the rewarding game viewing and bird watching en route, while Kyambura Gorge offers a green sliver of the forest to explore, home to chimpanzees and other primates. On-foot chimp tracking through the forest is available twice a day and makes a wonderful contrast with the savannah game viewing in the rest of the park.

Popular and accessible, Queen Elizabeth National Park is on many Uganda safari itineraries and combines easily with gorilla trekking in nearby Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest National Park. There’s a wide variety of accommodation, from family-friendly lodges to secluded tented camps, and activities range from game drives and boat cruises to professionally guided nature walks, chimp trekking in Kyambura gorge and sensational bird watching.

• Chimpanzee Tracking in Kyambura gorge

The kyambura gorge ‘underground forest’ is a tree-filled gorge that runs down the east of Queen Elizabeth National Park, some 100m deep and a kilometre across at its widest point. As a geographical feature, it’s pretty impressive, but the real reason to descend into its depths are the resident chimpanzees that live in the rainforest canopy. Some of the chimps have been habituated and can be tracked with a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide, but keep in mind that sightings here are far less frequent than in other regions (for this reason the price tag, at the just US $60, is a lot lower, too). Even without seeing chimps, a walking safari here is enjoyable, and you can keep a lookout for black and white colobus, vervet and red monkeys, as well as abundant birdlife, including colourful bee-eaters and the aquatic finfoot.

• Game Drives

Game drive especially the morning game drives are a common undertaking for most visitors to Queen Elizabeth National park. Probable animals to look out for include the lions, leopards, jackal, Elephants, Kobs, waterbucks and more.

• Kazinga channnel boat safari.

The Kazinga Channel boat trip provides a truly unique wildlife viewing experience. Flowing between Lakes Edward & Gorge, this narrow channel is perfect for a boat safari that lets you sit back and gaze at the wildlife, swimming, wallowing, drink and going about their afternoon affair. Most abundant are the hippos, which absolutely collect around each other in groups called schools or pods. One very important tip for the day is; keep your camera strap around your neck. If one lurches out the water as you’re trying to take a picture, there’s a good chance you’ll drop your camera.

• Birding safari.

Bothe game Drives and boat safari on the Kazinga channel are amazingly Bird-filled. The Kazinga channel banks attract plenty of bird species – almost 600 species – with giant kingfishers, bee-eaters, weaverbirds, saddle-billed storks and fish eagles most commonly seen.

• Crater Drive.

Katwe Explosion Crater Drive is 27 kilometres through one of the most scenic areas in Uganda and well worth a drive.  There will be many photo opportunities of stunning Craters and Crater Lakes, you will not see the wildlife that you would on the savannah plains below, but you will see your share of Elephants and Buffaloes. Some say it takes you about two hours to make this drive, that is cutting it short since there are too many photo opportunities for you along the way.
