Night walking tours in Kibale National Park are often booked by brave people, and if you ever change your mind, you can choose the more comfortable day walk. Tourists who are strong at heart begin the tour at 7:30 p.m., starting with a short talk about how to behave in the night jungle, usually led by a knowledgeable tour guide.
Since it is night, make sure to step only where your guide steps, and never move away from them while in the land of primates.
Along the way, you will see rare night birds such as nightjars and owls that enjoy the darkness, where the secrets of the jungle are shown. You may also see night animals like bush babies, pottos, the occasional African civet, some wild cats, and the tree hyrax.
The experience does not last very long because you need to rest for other activities the next day. The walk takes only one to two hours, during which you will see different primates getting ready to sleep in the trees, especially chimpanzees, which are common in the forest. They keep their young ones close to stop them from falling or being attacked by other animals.
You should not be scared if a chimpanzee comes near you. Stay calm, do not make eye contact, and if anything happens, the tour guides are trained to protect you.
At the end of the day, you need to sleep. When your tour time ends, you will go back to the park headquarters, where you will be welcomed and taken to your reserved lodge. The lodges shine brightly, showing their beauty down the slope.
After freshening up, you can have your dinner and then go to your cozy bedroom, which will be ready with clean pillows, bed sheets, toilets, towels, and more. Note that most of these places are designed in a way that matches the African environment.
A night walking tour is a wild adventure that gives you a great experience in Kibale National Park.
