Chimpanzees are primates found in various countries around Africa and these walk on both their arms and legs a characteristic that is also prominent in their other relatives the Gorillas. They move on all these from one distance to another through the forest with their bodies covered with black hair. These inhabit the Savanna woodlands, grassland-forest mosaics and tropical moist forests around Africa. The chimpanzees of Kibira National Park Burundi are similar to those that inhabit the thick tropical rainforest of Nyungwe in Rwanda the country of rolling hills. These live in communities where the Alpha Male in the group dominates over the rest of the individuals and females are responsible for taking care of every infant in the group. These like their close brothers the Gorillas also feed on fruit, vegetables, insects and sometimes small animals which the Gorillas don’t eat since for their case, they are typically vegetarians. Chimpanzee tracking is a very exceptional activity due to the fact that you will have to track these continuously moving primates in the forest for a period of 3-5 hours in groups of eight and when you meet these, you will spend and interact with them for a period of an hour. However, due o the fact that these are very rare in Kibira National Park, it is hard to estimate how much time it will take for travelers to find them.
