Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chimp trekking and habituation?↓
Standard trekking gives you one hour with a fully habituated community. Habituation is a full-day experience following a semi-habituated group as researchers work to accustom them to human presence — far more immersive.
Are chimpanzee sightings guaranteed?↓
While sightings are not guaranteed (these are wild animals), Kibale has the highest chimp density in Uganda and sighting rates are very high — typically above 90%.
