At Chimpnest Safari Lodge, we offer different activities at the lodge and around the lodge in collaboration with communities around the lodge. Some of the activities include.

Being at the edge of the Kibale Forest national park popularly known as the primate capital, we offer chimpanzee tracking experience through the Uganda Wildlife Authority(UWA) which comes at an extra cost. Our clients can book accommodation along with chimpanzee tracking experience. This activity can only be booked in advance as early as 6 months before. All our chimp trekking permits are purchased through our sister agency Kiboko Africa Safaris.

We also organise community tours for our clients through the nearby communities where you learn different ways of living and lifestyles of the locals. This tour takes you to the community where you will be able to visit a local coffee farm in a local home and you will go through the process of coffee making, you will also visit the local doctor or commonly known as the medicine man who uses different kinds of herbs to treat different diseases and illnesses, the visit to the local women group who make a living from making different baskets and crafts and the visit to the banana man where you will learn about different types of bananas and their use and mostly interestingly you wouldn’t want to miss the banana gin, banana, beer and the banana juice.
