July in Kibale National Park – Optimal Time for Chimpanzee Trekking

The sunny days continue in July, bringing many experiences, from wildlife to daily life in the nearby villages.

Some tourists choose to explore Fort Portal town before going to Kibale. Some use road transport, while others use air transport.

As you head to Kibale, you will see natural views along the way. The views of the Rwenzori Mountains will surround you wherever you go, with their snow-capped peak shining all year round.

Since it is a dry month, pack light clothes that are comfortable, and also carry a jacket because the nights can be cold.

Temperatures in the park stay nearly the same throughout the year. Daytime temperatures are around 26°C, while nighttime temperatures drop to about 16°C. This gives you a chance to see fewer insects compared to the wet season, which helps insects to breed.

Do not trust strangers with your belongings, and avoid showing off your money or valuables in public to avoid attracting thieves. Remember, only the tour operators are responsible for you during your trip.

Once in Kibale, you will check into your lodge and prepare for the next morning’s chimpanzee trekking. Park staff who take care of children will stay with them, teaching them about nature and taking them around the park.

Not only adults enjoy the experience, but also children, as they are guided through the butterfly area filled with many colors. In their free time, they can draw pictures of what they have seen during the trip. So feel free to book a family trip if you need one.

To make families more comfortable, lodges offer twin rooms or family rooms. These rooms have clean toilets, bathrooms with both warm and cold water, a private balcony to enjoy the African landscape, room service to keep the rooms clean, and special meals for children, among other things.

Embrace adventure this July and visit Kibale National Park.
