This 760km² area of rainforest, interspersed with patches of grassland and swamp, supports a rich variety of fauna, 250 species of animal and over 300 birds.
Kibale Forest has thirteen species of primates - among the highest number recorded in an African forest - including the chimpanzee, the vervet monkey and the red colobus. Tracking the noisy chimpanzee families racing through this verdant forest is a thrilling experience. Together with Bigodi Wetland nearby, many forest and swamp birds can be seen of which the Prigogine's ground thrush, the only bird that is endemic to Uganda, can be found.
