While primates are the star of the show here in Kibale, you can also find giant forest hogs, elephants and various antelope. Due to prolific bird life around the park, Makerere University built a biological field station for research and monitoring the likes of endemic black-earned ground thrush, olive long-tailed cuckoo and western tinkerbird. You can spot additional birds during guided nature walks in the adjacent Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary.
