Discounted Chimpanzee Permits For Foreign Residents

Uganda is widely recognized as the primate capital of Africa, making it an ideal destination for those wishing to witness habituated chimpanzee communities in their natural habitat. One of the most popular places to go chimpanzee trekking is Kibale Forest National Park, located in the southwestern part of the country. This national park is known for being a haven for primates, with over 11 different species residing within its boundaries. To make it easier for visitors to access and see these chimpanzees, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has implemented a program that offers discounted chimpanzee trekking permits to foreign nationals who are residing or working in Uganda. This initiative is aimed at providing all the necessary means for visitors to experience the beauty of the Kibale forest and its inhabitants.

It is important to note that the standard price for chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park is $200 per trek per person for non-foreign residents.

These individuals are eligible to pay $150 for chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park, which equates to a savings of $50.

When we talk about East African residents, we are referring to visitors from countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan, Rwanda, and Burundi.
