While on a chimpanzee trekking session, expect to be escorted by armed rangers/guards. In the afternoon, many of the members are resting and grooming each other as they try to find shelter to avoid the suns heat. The chimps are more active during the morning session as they head out feeding and hunting. In most of the parks and reserves where chimp visits are open to tourists, there are two sessions of tracking – in the morning and afternoon. Moreover, habituated chimpanzee can identify the familiar faces of the guides which make them reassured. The rangers know where to find the chimp communities by following clues left behind. Visitors cannot go out to the forest by themselves and must be led by a park guide or ranger. Chimpanzee tracking usually starts in the morning with briefing from a guide. However in most cases, it’s 6 people per community in a single session. There is a limit to how many people can track a particular chimpanzee community each day and this depends entirely on which place you go tracking in Uganda or Rwanda. It is always recommended that visitors book their chimpanzee permits months in advance. Visitors can easily locate them without having to trek for long distance.
