Spending one hour with chimps on a regular chimpanzee tracking safari will make you believe that this is thrilling, but wait untill you spend four hours with these chimps on our 3 Day Chimp Habituation. Given the expense, the 3 Day Chimp Habituation (CHE) is an excellent substitute for the 3 Day gorilla trekking safari.
Spending half a day in the bush, you will follow the movements, observe the behaviors, study the games and relax with the Chimpanzees. You will spend US$300 for forein non residents, USD250 for foreign residents, for the habituation experience, whereas Chimpanzee tracking, whereby you spend one hour with a habituated chimp group you pay US$250 for foreign non residents, USD200 for foreign residents. This is really reasonable for a budget visitor when contrasted to the US$800 cost of a gorilla trekking permit. This safari runs from Kampala/Entebbe at beginning and concludes.
What then is chimp habituation experience?
Travelers are let to join researchers (from the Uganda Wildlife Authority) on their day’s quest to habituate a chimpanzee group in their natural habitat, by following the chimp group throughout their daily routines, from break of dawn when they wake up to start their day.
One not only sees and pictures the chimps but also helps with all the activities required to live with our nearest cousins. On your Uganda safari, a complete day of such an adventure is well worth attempting.
