Highlights

Kyambura Gorge Chimpanzee Tracking Experience Kyambura Gorge is one of the most scenic and unique chimpanzee-tracking destinations in Uganda. Often referred to as the “Valley of Apes,” this lush, forested gorge cuts dramatically through the savannah of Queen Elizabeth National Park, creating a striking contrast in landscapes. Chimpanzee tracking here is more exclusive compared to other locations, with a small group size of about 6 visitors per trek, offering a more intimate and less crowded experience. In addition to chimpanzees, the gorge is rich in wildlife. Visitors may encounter hippos along the Kyambura River, as well as elephants, Uganda kobs, baboons, black-and-white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, and a variety of bird species. The tracking experience can take up to 3 hours, depending on the location of the chimpanzees. An experienced ranger guide will lead you through the forest in search of the chimps.

About Kampala

Kampala is Uganda's capital, spread across low hills near Lake Victoria, with royal tombs, cathedrals and mosques, busy markets and a lively music scene.

Kampala is built on a scattering of hills in southern Uganda, a short distance north of Lake Victoria. The Kasubi Tombs, the burial ground of the Buganda kings, are a World Heritage Site. The Uganda Museum is one of the oldest in East Africa and holds musical instruments and crafts. The hilltop Namirembe and Rubaga cathedrals, and the National Mosque on Old Kampala Hill with its minaret, each give views over the city.

Top-ranked sights in Kampala: Uganda National Mosque, Nakasero Market, Lake Victoria.
