It’s one of the forests I would recommend one to go for chimpanzee trekking in Uganda. The guides are so friendly and really knowledgeable about the forest and the chimpanzees. Your given good time as you watch these primates.

No need to pay expensively to trek the Chimpanzees, just visit this place to have the best time with chimps at a very affordable rate and great experience with friendly guides who trek with you in this tropical rain forest. Trekking is done both in the morning and afternoon just on your way to or from Queen Elizabeth National park.

Very nice people and cozy vibes. Only 2 nights camping there we spotted 4 different kind of monkeys for a very considerable price. Beautiful scenery and fresh vegetables in the nearby village.
