Day By Day

2 Day Itinerary

Day 1 Transfer from Bujumbura to Bururi Chimpanzee Forest Main Destination: Bururi Forest Nature Reserve

We will pick you up at any time in Bujumbura city at your hotel or location around the city and transfer you to Bururi Forest. You will spend your overnight stay at the Moonlight Hotel preparing for early morning tracking. Bururi Forest Nature Reserve offers the best opportunities to spot chimps as the park is both small and home to a healthy number of primates (60+ and growing). This makes it easier to locate the chimps. On the other hand, Kibira National Park is quite large, making their chimps harder to find.

Day 2 Tracking Chimpanzees in Bururi Forest Nature Reserve Main Destination: Bururi Forest Nature Reserve

You will wake up very early in the morning (5:00 am) eat your breakfast and start a journey to Bururi Forest Reserve to track the amazing chimpanzee which will take 3 to 4 hours depending on where the chimpanzee will be.

The chimpanzees in Bururi are not as habituated as those in more well-known locations, such as Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. What this means is that they’ll likely be further away (such as in the trees), rather than super up close and personal.

After tracking, you will go back to Bujumbura for a city tour and that will be the end of the tour.

Accommodation No overnight accommodation for this day.
