Kyambura Gorge

Kyambura Gorge is a forested valley within the wider Queen Elizabeth National Park landscape. Its steep sides and riverine forest form a striking contrast with the surrounding savannah. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Official visitor information ↗

The gorge is part of a broader ecological landscape shaped by water, volcanic geology and wildlife movement. Conservation visits are managed to protect sensitive forest habitats and primates. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The gorge’s forest canopy, river and steep terrain provide habitat for chimpanzees, monkeys and birds. Chimpanzee sightings are not guaranteed and depend on current group movements. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Guided nature walks and authorised chimpanzee tracking are the main experiences. Follow ranger instructions and keep noise low to minimise disturbance to wildlife. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Confirm whether tracking is available, what permits are required, and the fitness and age rules with Uganda Wildlife Authority. Trails may be steep, humid or slippery after rain. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
