This is the fifth in a series of nine posts covering our 13-day tour around Uganda with Mountain Gorilla Coffee Tours (“MGCT”).
After we left Murchison Falls National Park, we drove to the town of Fort Portal, where we spent the night before embarking on one of the highlights of our time in Uganda: chimp trekking in Kibale National Park.
Kibale National Park is home to more than 1,400 chimpanzees. Hiking through the rainforest to spot some of the chimpanzees that have been habituated for human visitors1 was near the top of our list of things to do in Uganda, and we were really looking forward to the adventure.
We had been warned that we might have to hike for a good distance before we found any chimpanzees – if we found them at all.2 Nonetheless, almost immediately after entering the forest, we came across a large chimp reclining under a tree.
