Day 2   CHIMPANZEE WALK NGAMBA ISLAND
For those who have had their requisite set of medical requirements checked and acknowledged, a forest walk with the chimps is an inimitable event! The Uganda safari Forest Walk proffers you an opportunity to join a group of infant chimpanzees on an hour’s walk through their forest habitat, either in the late afternoon or very early morning.  A limit of four visitors is allowed in the forest for each walk, always accompanied by trained CSWCT staff for your safety and enjoyment.  You will be in the company of several chimpanzees varying in age where you will have direct contact with them and therefore be given very specific instructions regarding clothing, glasses, cameras, and behavior when signing up for this unique opportunity as these chimpanzees are used to human contact they will play-bite, climb on you, grab your glasses, and pull your hair or even just your hand for a walk- how interesting! Fun just begins!  This opportunity is only a short-term one and indeed a privilege while the  juvenile group of chimpanzees is manageable with the general public. Depending on how controllable the chimps are, there is no guarantee on how long this activity will go on for, and it may be curtailed any time. After you will be transferred back to the shores of L. Victoria from where our driver guide will pick you up to take you to the airport for your flight back home.
