Day by Day

Day 1 Transfer from Bujumbura to Bururi Chimpanzee Forest
⏱Morning 🏨Diocese of Bururi Guesthouse Budget guest house located in Bururi (City) 🍽Dinner (Breakfast & lunch not included) Drinks not included
We will pick you up at any time in Bujumbura city at your hote, Airport or location around the city and transfer you to Bururi Forest. You will spend your overnight stay at the Diocess De Bururi Hotel or similar 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
⏱Morning 🏨No accommodation 🍽Breakfast (Lunch & dinner not included) Drinks not included
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. We will drop you in Bujumbura at your booked hotel or any place of your interest in Bujumbura and that will be the end of your tour
