Kibale Forest National Park - Chimpanzees |

This reserve is inhabited by a wonderfully diverse community of animals, which includes red colobus, red-tailed guenon (white-nosed monkey), gray-cheeked mangabey, blue monkey, L'Hoest's monkey, and black and white colobus. Along with these are olive baboon, bushbaby, the nocturnal potto and chimpanzee. These animals have been the subjects of long-term research projects, so they are now tame and easy to observe. A trail grid has been cut in the forest to facilitate walking. Kibale is located just east of the Rwenzori, near the town of Fort Portal.
