Kyambura Game Reserve, which includes the Kyambura Gorge, adjoins the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. It is home to a variety of wildlife including the forest elephants, hippos, and forest hogs. The area is an important water source for many animals and is surrounded by savanna, but is generally noted for its high concentration of primate life located in the gorge.

Wildlife in Kyambura Gorge.

Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park is the only place where habituated chimps are seen. The gorge hosts other primates which include red-tailed monkeys, black-and-white colobus, Olive baboons, and vervet monkeys. Kyambura is known for its variety of bird species, including various falcons, the blue-headed bee-eater, and the African fin foot. The chimpanzees in the Gorge were isolated after the forests connecting it to larger forests like Kalinzu and Maramagambo were cleared. While tracking chimpanzees, visitors are treated to views of the “underground forest, birds and smaller primates.
