Child Restrictions from Chimpanzee Trekking

Child Restrictions from Chimpanzee Trekking are in place in the forest premises set by UWA and children below 15 years of age are not accepted for trekking. For many years, the safaris in Kibale national park have been crapped off the children’s itinerary list. This is because, the best and most known safaris were chimpanzee trekking and Chimpanzee habituation which are restricted activities for children by the managing body, Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). The child restrictions from Chimpanzee trekking are rules by the Uganda wildlife authority and they stipulate that all children are not allowed to do chimpanzee trekking and children here are considered to below the age of 15years.

There is a genuine reason as to why the children restrictions from chimpanzee trekking are put in place in Kibale national park. Some of them include that the children can get tired easily during the trekking since you can never determine the time in which you can find a habituated chimpanzee community. The children are also very playful and cannot be obedient as the grownups. They can move off the trail very easy and perhaps get lost in the forest.

Kids Trekking Activities

However, the Kibale forest management thinks about the children too that it organized the forest treats for the children and activities they can afford participating in. Kibale national park is one of a few national parks where the children can do a range of children activities. The children-friendly rangers at Kibale national park are always ready to show the children all the fun about the forest and make them have a quite interesting Kibale national park experience.

It is only a kibale national park in Uganda that has a fully tailored package for children to participate in a bush craft; they also never miss out on the forest fun during the bushcraft activity. The children can enjoy the children bushcraft where they can learn about a lot of survival skills about the forest. Spot quite a number of monkeys learn about different plant species like the parasites which stalk up on the big old trees in the Kibale forest. The little ones can also enjoy sightings of the forest birds among other interesting activities tailored for them.

The children alternatively can play forest games like batik making, pond dipping and take some time in photography and cyanotype among other games. The children can also enjoy the culture and heritage around the villages near Kibale national park on the cultural encounters.  they can also choose to stay at the visitor center ant play other games or stay at the lodge or else take a ride through the nearby community and, perhaps, visit fort portal town, and the Tooro kingdom palace among other interesting places. Therefore Child Restrictions from Chimpanzee Trekking are meant to protect them and not to hurt them.
