Did you know that kibale means a big stone? Since this
forest was initially used for hunting, the king used to rest on this big stone
between the park and fort portal town resulting into naming it after this stone.

chimpanzee tracking, so you who confuse the chimpanzees with the gorillas its
high time you considered having a tour to this national park. Bird watching is
also another activity you should watch out for. All these activities can be
spear headed by professional guides, very knowledgeable about whatever you are
interested in .entrance charges are very favorable to both the local and international
visitors.

When you book for this small shelter expect nothing other than fun. Its
location only describes what to expect, being located aside the elephant wallow
