Primate Lodge Kibale

The lodge About this lodge

Primate Lodge Kibale is the established choice for chimp trekking in Kibale Forest — a collection of comfortable en-suite bandas (rondavels) set in gardens at the forest edge where chimpanzee calls provide the evening soundtrack. The lodge is the starting point for the morning chimp trek briefing and its guiding team has decades of experience tracking the Kibale chimp communities. The Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary begins effectively at the garden gate. Unpretentious and genuine, this is a property where the wildlife is the product rather than the interiors.
