Chimpanzee Trekking in Budongo Forest

Budongo Forest, part of the Murchison Falls Conservation Area in Uganda, is one of the best places to track wild chimpanzees. Eshande Safari offers guided chimp tracking experiences here, led by experienced Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) rangers. The activity typically starts in the morning and lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the chimps' location. You'll walk through dense forest, listening for calls and spotting other wildlife too.
