Kibale National Park
The most accessible of Uganda's major rainforests, Kibale is home to a remarkable13 primate species, including the very localised red colobus and 'Hoest' smonkey.

A network of shady forest trails provides much to delight botanists and butterfly lovers, while birders are in for atreat with 335 species recorded including the endemic Prirogrine's ground thrush.The elusive forest elephant, smaller and hairier than its savannah counterpart, moves seasonally into the developed partof the park, while other terrestrial mammals include buffalo, giant forest hogand a half dozen antelope species.
