Forest regulations
These regulations are of benefit to the visitors and the wildlife of Kibale National Park. Please observe them:
Please remember this is not a zoo, it is tropical rain forest and animal sightings depend on several factors, such as time of the day, fruits availability, weather and how quiet the visitor group is.
The maximum number of visitors is 6 per group.
Please remain in a tight group (do not scatter) and follow the guide's directions at all times.
Please remain at a distance of at least 8 meters from the chimps or other animals.
Under no circumstance should anyone chase the chimps or other animals while they are descending to or walking on the ground.
Please do not enter the forest if you are sick, since this puts the animals at serious risk of disease transmission.
Please refrain from eating near the chimps and other primates.
Please do not shout in the forest.
Due to red ants and slippery trails its advisable to wear boots that cover your toes, long trousers and water proof clothing in the wet season.
Children under 12 years will not be permitted to view the chimps for safety reasons.
Please follow proper waste disposal methods.
Do not throw rubbish within the forest.
If you need to urinate during the walk, please do so off the trail system.
If you need to defecate, please do so off the trail system and bury wastes and toilet paper in a hole one foot deep (all waste including toilet paper must be buried way from the trails system at a minimum of 8 meters).
Remember you are of the many visiting Kibale National Park, so keep it safe for all.
