Kibale National Park contains one of the loveliest and most varied
tracts of tropical forest in Uganda. Forest cover, interspersed with
patches of grassland and swamp, dominates the northern and central parts
of the park on an elevated plateau.
The park is home to a total of 70 mammal species, most famously 13 species of primate including the chimpanzee.
It also contains over 375 species of birds. Kibale adjoins Queen
Elizabeth National Park to the south to create a 180km-long corridor for
wildlife between Ishasha, the remote southern sector of Queen Elizabeth
National Park, and Sebitoli in the north of Kibale National Park.
The Kibale-Fort Portal area is one of Uganda’s most rewarding
destinations to explore. The park lies close to the tranquil
Ndali-Kasenda crater area and within half a day’s drive of the Queen
Elizabeth, Rwenzori Mountains and Semuliki National Parks, as well as
the Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve.
