Chimpanzees of Kibale and Budongo Forest and Birding in Bigodi Wetlands, Uganda 2019 (4K -Video)

Trekking to our nearest family tree neighbor, the chimpanzee. The Kibale forest national park is home to a big population of chimpanzees and we had the chance to visit a large group with baby and semi-adults. Observing these amazing great apes gives an idea of how close we are related to one another. The articulation, precision and movement of their hand is identical to ours. Also chimpanzees are highly social animals that spend a lot of time grooming each other to keep them free from ticks and other parasites.
Our second chimpanzee trekking took place in the Budongo Forest Reserve in Murchison Falls National Park. Here the chimpanzees rested on the ground and we could observe their social behavior in great details.
In between the chimpanzee trekking we went for birding excursions. The first started from Ndali Lodge all around the crater lake Nyinambuga where we were lucky to see the great blue turaco, Klaa’s cuckoo and black-and-white-casqued hornbill.
The second birding was in the Bigodi wetlands. Besides many species of birds we also saw red colobus, black-and-white colobus and red-tailed monkeys.

Welcome to our chimpanzee trekking and birding to Kibale Forest National Park, Budongo Forest Reserve and Bigodi Wetlands in Uganda in August 2019. We stayed two nights at the beautiful Ndali Lodge near Kibale and one night at the Budongo Eco Lodge.
