Chimpanzee Tracking in Uganda
It is true. Chimps just like man use tools to drink water, open nuts and catch termites. They have been known to live to up to 50 years of age. Perhaps one of man’s closest relatives, chimps share 98.4% of DNA with humans.
They are ‘apes’ not monkeys and are closer to man than gorillas. Living in communities of between 20-100 individuals, there home may range to approximately 1sq kilometer per chimp.
Each community has a dominant male the alpha who provides protection and direction to the community. At dusk, the wild chimps build nests 6-25 meters above the ground by pulling over branches to make soft beds.
We will be pleased to organize your travel to Kibale National Park and Ngamba Island where these chimps are located.
