One of the largest rain forests in Africa is found in Kibale National Park, which is situated in western Uganda. 3,300 meters above sea level is its elevation. The chimpanzees and numerous other primate species in this national park are well-known. There are more than 100 chimpanzees living in each colony, and each one has a complex social structure. Each group has an older man who is in charge of dominating the others and protecting the group from outside male intruders. The small chimpanzees always move in small groups. By locating the chimpanzees and then locating the place where they are calling from, one can locate them by hearing their pant hooting noises. You typically have an hour to spend with these primates, during which you may watch them feed, play, take care of their young, and swing from one tree to another.
