Kibale National Park

If you want the surest chimpanzee sighting in East Africa, start here. Kibale's 776 square kilometers of rainforest hold more than 1,000 chimpanzees among about a dozen primate species, and the standard trek ends with an hour in a community's company. For more time, the habituation experience runs four to six hours and is limited to four visitors a day, which is the closest a visitor gets to watching chimps go about a full morning. Kibale fits easily into a Uganda route that also takes in Bwindi, and its permits cost a fraction of a gorilla permit.
