Kibale’s altitude makes way for a huge variety of ecosystems within the park; from tropical rainforests to grassy savannah and dry woodland. As a result, Kibale is at the forefront of Africa’s various research projects. Although many focus on the primates, there is also much to be learned from the ecological implications of such a place, as well as fish species and wild pig. With 700 mammal species in the park, 375 varieties of bird and 315 different types of trees, there is no wonder this western corner of Uganda has fascinated botany and wildlife lovers for many years.
