Choosing Your Ideal Chimp Trekking Destination in Uganda: Kibale Forest vs. Budongo Forest

Uganda, known as the "Pearl of Africa," offers unmatched biodiversity and wildlife experiences. Among its most captivating activities is chimp trekking, with Kibale Forest and Budongo Forest standing out as premier destinations. Here's a detailed comparison to help you choose the perfect spot for your Uganda chimp trekking adventure.

Kibale Forest

Location and Accessibility

Located in western Uganda near the town of Fort Portal, Kibale Forest National Park is easily accessible from Kampala, the capital, with a drive of approximately 5-6 hours.

Chimpanzee Population

Dubbed the "Primate Capital of the World," Kibale Forest hosts around 1,500 chimpanzees, making sightings highly likely. The well-established habituation process offers an immersive experience with these fascinating creatures.

Trekking Experience

Trekking in Kibale is typically well-organized, guided by experienced professionals. The relatively flat terrain and well-maintained trails make the trek manageable for most fitness levels. The lush forest provides a picturesque backdrop, enhancing the overall experience.

Additional Attractions

Kibale is home to 12 other primate species, including red colobus monkeys and L'Hoest's monkeys. Bird watchers can also enjoy spotting over 375 species of birds.

Budongo Forest

Location and Accessibility

Budongo Forest, located in northwestern Uganda near Murchison Falls National Park, is approximately a 4-hour drive from Kampala, offering relatively easy access for visitors.

Chimpanzee Population

With a smaller population of around 700 chimpanzees, Budongo offers a unique and intimate trekking experience. The forest's research and conservation efforts, led by the Budongo Conservation Field Station, ensure well-protected and habituated chimp communities.

Trekking Experience

Trekking in Budongo can be more challenging due to the denser undergrowth and varied terrain. This adds to the adventure and often leads to more thrilling encounters. The forest's diverse flora and fauna provide an enriching experience beyond just chimp sightings.

Additional Attractions

Budongo Forest is famous for its ancient mahogany trees and rich biodiversity. Its proximity to Murchison Falls allows trekkers to combine their adventure with a visit to the falls, boat cruises on the Nile, and game drives.

Tbh it was never on my mind previously, like if you told me to name a place in Uganda I probably would’ve forgotten it. But you know when you see something familiar and it like unlocks memories? It was like that. Might not even be the same place I’m remembering but it was close enough for me to remember

This is me with literally every single place I've been too but specifically hong kong. I have no clue where any of the places are called but if I see a name similar to a shop we went to it's like "oh yeah wtf I WAS there this wasn't me just bullshiting in my head"

In terms of places in Uganda I think they're also pretty distinct? I don't think many names of places in none east african countries have the same flow of letters that ours does? Except I guess like Fort Portal or something I could be very wrong pff

Creating Economically Viable Communities through Sustainable Tourism & CBT

Sustainable Tourism refers to sustainable practices in and by the tourism industry. It is an aspiration to acknowledge all impacts of tourism, both positive and negative. It aims to minimize the negative impacts and maximize the positive ones as defined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. 

The UNWTO looks at sustainable tourism as tourism that takes into full account of  its current and future socio-economic and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities"

At ATW Holidays Africa and Avens Travel World, we go on and look at it as tourism which embraces the needs and concerns of the host communities and the environment. We’re a company that has incorporated sustainable practices in our operations with our main focus centered on uplifting the livelihood of host communities through tourism.

We have partnered with various NGO’s around Uganda to get back to communities through outreach programs, we organize tours that encourage our guests to visit and experience the lifestyle and cultures of local communities, we empower NGO’s and charity homes through encouraging visits to them in our safaris for charity packages

 One of our visits to Thuyilweko Women Organization in Kasese: The organization looks after and skills young mothers, vulnerable girls and women 

We have partnered with a local Organization called Yange Africa, to promote socio-economically viable communities through Community Based Tourism (CBT). One of our current projects include Mukuuba, a landing site located on the shores of Lake Victoria, in Entebbe municipality. Here visitors can experience the local lifestyle and our intention in the site is to expose it to the outside world and tourism which can be a new source of income since there main source which was fishing was cutoff by the new government policies which restrict fishing on the lake. Here visitors can take part in activities like nature walks, sightseeing, village walks, board games among others and residents can be able to gain revenue through guiding and interpretation services.

At the site we realized the problem of environmental degradation due to poor disposal of wastes in the lake and wetland, we therefore intend to use tourism to advocate for environmental protection and conservation at the site.

Among our other initiatives in promoting Community Tourism in Fort Portal region in western Uganda, where visitors visit local residents and partake in local experiences like culinary tryouts, traditional beer and gin making, pineapple and banana beer testing, traditional coffee making among other experiences.  

Tourists in Fort Portal doing a community tour to experience local lifestyle and activities.

The purpose of ATW Holidays and Avens Travel World in promoting such kid of experiences is to create economically sustainable and viable communities around Uganda through using what they have i.e. traditions, values and other cultural practices that tourists like to witness and immerse in.
