If you’re lucky, you might see a fight between a predator and a prey as the pythons are drawn to the caves where the bats live. In Maramagambo, chimpanzee trekking is not permitted since the primates are not habituated. But if you’re lucky, you might see some on the trails. When you’ve had enough of the Maramagambo forest, you’ll depart for the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, stopping for lunch en route.
