Face-to-face with wild chimpanzees in their natural Bunyoro habitat
Experience close encounters with chimpanzee communities that live alongside local residents in Muhorro. Our guided tracking tours offer a rare and unforgettable opportunity to observe these amazing primates — our closest living relatives — going about their daily lives in the wild.
BUTECOP's chimpanzee program is rooted in community conservation. Local guides who grew up alongside these chimpanzees lead every trek, sharing deep knowledge of chimp behaviour, history, and the ongoing effort to protect them.

Unlike national park treks, BUTECOP's chimpanzees live in a community landscape — not a protected reserve. Seeing them here shows how conservation and daily human life can coexist, making this one of the most authentic wildlife experiences in Uganda.
Chimpanzees share 98.7% of their DNA with humans. Watching them in the wild is a humbling, life-changing experience.
BUTECOP's community-based approach means your visit directly funds their protection.
