Day 3
Chimp Trekking & Bigodi Swamp
Today is your introduction to Uganda's primates! Trekking to see the chimpanzees is an amazing experience. In Kibale there are over 120 individuals in this habituated family, so this is one of the best places to have a chance of seeing them. Once you locate them you have one hour to spend in their enthralling company. After your walk in the forest and a delicious lunch at the lodge it's time to explore Bigodi Swamp. This walk is nothing like the forest walk, showcasing another aspect of the Pearl of Africa. You'll return to the lodge for dinner and a good rest.
