Rather than observing gentle giants in a quiet, intimate setting, you\u2019ll follow a boisterous group of chimps as they leap and scamper through Budongo Forest Reserve, heading in whatever direction the agile animals lead you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reserve is home to nearly 700 of these playful primates including six groups habituated for trekking. Knowledgeable guides follow the chimps\u2019 daily movements and lead groups of up to six people into their habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like on a gorilla trek, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a full day to locate a group of chimpanzees, which provides ample time for participants to learn about the forest\u2019s ecology before spending an hour watching a chimp family play and go about their daily lives in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Uganda-chimp-min-1024x731.jpeg\" alt=\"Chimpanzee swinging from tree branches in Uganda\" class=\"wp-image-32611 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Uganda-chimp-min-1024x731.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Uganda-chimp-min-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Uganda-chimp-min-434x310.jpeg 434w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Uganda-chimp-min-868x620.jpeg 868w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Uganda-chimp-min.jpeg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/731;\" \/><figcaption>Add chimpanzee trekking to your Uganda itinerary | \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/mattpaynemedia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew Payne<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

If your safari guide shouts \u201clions!\u201d in this region, remember to look up rather than out at the grasslands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When traversing the park, be sure to plan a stop at the equator.
