Kyambura Gorge

About

At 1 km wide and 100 m deep, the Kyambura Gorge river is a water source to the local birds and wildlife. Whilst the number of chimpanzees has depleted over the years, 16 of them are still confirmed to be in the valley. Other primates residing in the gorge include baboons, red-tailed monkeys and vervet monkeys. It is the ideal spot for trekking and seeing how these almost-human creatures go about their daily business: from leaving their overnight home to sourcing food, playing games and swinging from trees before setting up camp for the next night. Aside from monkeys, there’s a chance you could glimpse the bright pink flamingos that gather on the slopes of the gorge to drink from the crater lakes! Please note that there is an admission fee ($10 per person), payable upon entry.
