African rain forest at ist best, the chimpanzees were very easy to get along with.

Not many wildlife and we could not see the tree climbing lions nor any leopard.

The same as for Bwindi: It was really impressive to see the animals up close. But in a smaller group it would be even better to really get a full score under bush vibe. Here the problem was also that at least 4 groups were close on each other's heels during most of the time and so nearly 40 people as on Black Friday tried to rush after the chimpanzees and take the best position for a picture. I didn't like this stress at all! Apart from that the chimpanzees were very lively and much more active than the gorillas.

We found ourselves in another lush forest, hiking to get to the trackers who had spotted the chimpanzees. Our guide was so informative and her love for chimpanzees was contagious! We were a bit unfortunate because the chimpanzees we found were high up in the trees, never coming down once so we hurt our necks constantly looking up. It was also harder to see them up there, but even so seeing them and hearing their calls and learning so many interesting things about them was well worth the visit.

The chimps are really great. The forest is not at the same level of Bwindi, but it’s really good. I would like to see snakes in there, but it was not possible.

Recommend visiting Kibale in the afternoon. Learned the Chimpanzees don't like coming down from treetops when ground vegetation is wet. Lucky one hit the ground near our group and happened to be a real poser :-)

Chimps trekking was nice but to much people. Up to 16 People arround the chimps group.
Not easy to get good pictures for photographer.
Meeting with chimpanzees
I was so excited seeing chimpanzees living without borders and boundaries - in freedom. As Kibale is a forest there was not too much light for filming of taking photographs but i managed to take some great photos.
Guide knew everything about wildlife and told us as much as he was able diuring our stay.
And the weather was so good during our stay there.
I would really recommend Kibale Forest as a great place to see wildlife in Uganda.
