S'enfoncer dans la forêt tropicale est un véritable assaut pour les sens, bien avant même d'apercevoir un chimpanzé. La canopée au-dessus de nos têtes se transforme en une symphonie chaotique de cris assourdissants, de hurlements et du bruit sourd des mâles dominants qui frappent sur d’énormes racines d’arbres pour signaler leur présence. Contrairement aux gorilles, calmes et lents, suivre la trace des chimpanzés se résume souvent à une marche effrénée à travers les sous-bois. Vous vous retrouverez à marcher vite pour suivre leur rythme alors qu’ils sautent des hautes branches, sprinter à travers la forêt et gèrent des relations sociales complexes juste sous vos yeux. Les observer utiliser des outils, se disputer des territoires et vous regarder en retour de leurs yeux ambrés d’une intelligence intense nous rappelle de manière brute nos racines communes.
Extrait de nos guides
Bwindi is home to over four hundred wild chimpanzees, but because they are not habituated to humans, you will generally only hear their vocalizations echoing through the deep ridges. Their pant-hoot calls pierce through the dense morning air, reminding you that you are standing in one of the few African wildernesses where two distinct great ape species share the exact same habitat.
- What Parc national impénétrable de Bwindi Is Known For
Bwindi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds roughly half of the world's remaining 1,000-plus mountain gorillas, spread across four trekking sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo. It is also one of Africa's richest birding forests, with more than 350 recorded species, over 20 of them Albertine Rift endemics.
- Best Time to Visit Parc national impénétrable de Bwindi
Best time to visit is considered the dry windows from June to September and December to February, as they offer firmer trails and lower humidity for optimal gorilla tracking comfort.
However, the rainy months, March to May and September to November, provide total exclusivity, fewer trekkers, lower lodge rates, and shorter treks as gorillas move to lower elevations for food, with the same one-hour gorilla viewing once a family is located.

Best Months to See Chimpanzé in Uganda
De la part de notre équipe
Chimpanzé
While Kibale National Park is widely celebrated as the primate capital of Africa, I also highly recommend trekking in the dramatic, sunken forest of Kyambura Gorge inside Queen Elizabeth National Park. It feels like stepping into a lost world! Wherever you trek, my tip is to book a Chimpanzee Habituation Experience. Spending hours with researchers gives you a completely different level of insight into the chimps' behaviors & daily routines compared to a standard one-hour trek.

Parc national impénétrable de Bwindi
Opt for a private flight from Entebbe to Kisoro or Kihihi, rather than taking the long 8-10-hour drive. By landing near the edge of the forest, you completely bypass travel fatigue and arrive fresh, relaxed, and fully energized for your morning trek with the gorillas.
