This activity provides a unique opportunity to take part in the lion monitoring project. You can collect survey data while on game drives in the Queen Elizabeth National Park and then submit it to the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Team. During the activity, you will record the GPS of the safari car and take specific identification photos of the lions you spot on your game drive. The data collected will support the protection of Uganda's carnivore populations and will be used to build on the research and previous surveys conducted by the lion monitoring team. Learn more here

Tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as they swing from the branches in the canopy high above the forest floor is nothing short of exhilarating. The chimps effortlessly cross and scamper through the trees above the gorge, and visitors on the other hand must cross the river using natural bridges in order to keep up with the chimps. So although the walk usually lasts only 2–3 hours, descending the steep gorge and crossing the log bridges over the river requires some agility and fitness.
Chimpanzee tracking is also available in nearby Kalinzu, a forest reserve 30 minutes drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge where there is a community of about 40 habituated chimpanzees.
