Overview of Kibale Forest Camp
Hidden just outside the southern border of beautiful Kibale Forest National Park, Kibale Forest Camp neighbours the fascinating Magombe Swamp (also known as the Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary). The area attracts a host of butterflies, birds and a variety of primates and offers an unforgettable nature experience.
When you are not relaxing at the camp spotting the red or black-and-white colobus monkeys that often wander through the grounds, you can enjoy a number of treks in Bigodi where you can search for a wide range of primates and birds. Visits to the nearby crater lakes or a night walk in the national park also come highly recommended.
Kibale Forest Camp is very conveniently located a short drive from the Kanyanchu Visitor Center, from where you depart on your exhilarating chimpanzee trek among habituated chimps.
