Primate Paradise – Chimpanzees and Uganda’s Diverse Monkey Species
In the third edition of our Wazimba Travel Uganda series, we venture beyond mountain gorillas to explore Uganda’s extraordinary primate diversity. Uganda hosts more primate species than any other East African country, with over 20 different species ranging from our closest living relatives—chimpanzees—to rare endemic monkeys found nowhere else on Earth. This remarkable primate kingdom offers visitors multiple opportunities for intimate wildlife encounters while supporting crucial research and conservation efforts.
