Have you ever had an Indiana Jones urge? The urge to go on an adventure, to see animals you never thought you’d see, to go to places with names like the ‘Impenetrable forest’? This urge can be satisfied in the thick jungles of Uganda. There’s a tour run by Jenman African Safaris which makes you feel like Harrison Ford has just retired all his kit to you. Except, unlike Harrison, your place of rest will be a little bit more comfortable and you won’t be attacked by snakes.
Traditionally people travel to Uganda to track gorillas in their natural habitat, but, did you know that you can also track chimpanzees in their natural habitat there too? The Kibale Forest National Park is said to be one of Uganda’s most gorgeous tropical forests and is home to many forest wildlife including chimpanzees. Even though the chimpanzees are the most sought-after primate by visitors, one can also expect to see black & white colubus, red-tailed monkey or the grey-cheeked mangabey.
