With
lush tropical rainforest and a fascinating diversity
of animals, Kibaale National Park is one of the
most beautiful and stunning forests in Uganda.
The forest has one of the highest diversity
and density of primates in Africa totalling
13 species including over 1500 chimpanzees,
the rare L’ Hoest monkey, the threatened
red colobus monkey, the black and white colobus
monkey, blue monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey,
red tailed monkey, bush babies and pottos. Kibaale's
major attraction, however are the chimps. These
delightful apes, more closely related to humans
than to any other living creature, are tremendous
fun to watch as they squabble and play in fruiting
trees. Visitors have a unique chance to take
part in the chimpanzee habituation experience,
which entails following up the chimps to get
them used to human presence without necessarily
altering their natural behaviour.
A network of shady forest trails provides much
to delight botanists and butterfly lovers, while
birders are in for a treat with 335 species
recorded including the endemic Prirogrine's
ground thrush.
The elusive forest elephant, smaller and hairier
than its savannah counterpart, moves seasonally
into the developed part of the park, while other
terrestrial mammals include buffalo, giant forest
hog and a half dozen antelope species. Chimp
tracking and other guided forest walks, even
night walks. Birders shouldn't miss Bigodi Wetland
Sanctuary, a superb community development fringing
the park. A field of beautiful crater lakes
lies between Fort Portal and Kibaale Forest.
On offer are educational walks that last 1-2
hours followed by creative activities. This
especially caters for children under 12 years
of age that are not allowed to view the chimps.
This enables clients to enjoy their chimpanzee
experience or nature walk whilst their children
are supervised, educated and entertained by
experienced guides. The children access the
forest and learn about the ecosystem and its
habitants through interesting walks, games and
creative activities such as pond-dipping, paper
making, cyanotype, photography and batik making.
Besides being an exciting holiday destination.
Kibaale forest is an important site for conservation
and research. The Uganda Wildlife Authority,
with assistance from the Jane Goodall Institute
started the Kibaale Primate Habituation Project
which focuses on habituating the chimpanzees
to human presence. This has increased the chances
of viewing chimpanzees to over 90%, allowing
visitors the fantastic opportunity to view these
great apes in their natural environment.
For
the adventurous visitor who wants to enjoy the
forest more may take a 64km guided walk which
starts from either Kanyanchu or Sebitoli and
ends at either site, passing through different
habitants and local communities over a period
of 2-6 days, camping at the community camp grounds.
Community campsites offer traditional local
dishes, traditional dances, story telling and
also walks to the shambas. Porters can be hired
to carry the bags.
The two major tribes living around the park
are the Batooro and Bakiga. Traditionally, both
tribes utilise the forest for food, fuel, building
materials and medicines. The park authorities
allow the local people to have controlled and
sustainable access to selected forest resources.
