Chimp Trekking in Kyambura Gorge
Trekking in search of chimps in the Kyambura Gorge is a magical experience. You will drive by safari truck through the savannah to meet your specialist guide who will take you on a hike down into the gorge, a stunning area of dense woodland surrounding the Kyambura River which cuts right through the grasslands of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The gorge was formed thousands of years ago during an era of crater explosions when the Kyambura River found its way through a large geological fault line creating its own special microclimate and some simply stunning scenery.
Your expert guide will take you to where the chimps are resting; sometimes they are down on the ground playing and grooming and sometimes up in the trees. Whichever way the sights and sounds of the forest and all its wildlife make for an incredible experience.
If you are lucky you may spot a dozen chimps going about their day near the river or in their rainforest habitat, a place chock full of birdlife – Turacos, black headed and golden oriels, goneleks to name a few.
Seeing these incredible primates in the wild is a gem of an experience.
We hope you enjoy it!
