Day 03: Chimpanzee tracking

>> This is our last day in the park, we take our breakfast by 6:30am and be ready to set off at 6:45am for Budongo forest still in the Murchison falls National Park. The drive time is at least 1hr and 30minutes. Arrive in time for the briefing, stretch a little and set off for the chimpanzee tracking. Chimpanzees are usually active animals and are light on ground. This makes them move a little fast during tracking and this means, you need to be a little quick to follow them. Some times they will be up in the trees or even relaxed feeding from the ground.
Check out of the park, lunch and drive back to Kampala for drop off at your hotel or even Airport for your onward journey.
