In the Shadow of Chimpanzees is the brainchild of primatologist Julia Lloyd, who has lived literally in - and now on the edge of - Kibale Forest in western Uganda since 1998. Julia led the team of rangers and researchers that first habituated the forest's chimpanzees for tourism. In the Shadow of Chimpanzees (a registered NGO) is developing a quality community tourism programme for day visitors who can experience a butterfly garden, bird trails and Healing (medicinal plant) Garden. Pre-booked visitors can see and learn about human-wildlife conflict solutions such as beehive fences and an elephant trench.

Each of the ten spacious framed canvas rooms, privately nestled along the riverbank, is comfortably furnished with ensuite bathrooms.
Wake to the delicious aroma of morning coffee served on your private verandah. Resident troops of Black-and-White Colobus and Vervet monkeys abound.

Designed to respect and complement the environment, this low impact, eco-sensitive camp is really something special. After a few days unwinding at Ishasha Wilderness Camp, you may well not want to leave.
Diary of a Muzungu follows my life in Uganda, initially as a VSO volunteer with the Uganda Conservation Foundation: here I recount why I came to Uganda, the culture shock, my (mis)interpretation of life around me and adventures in the bush. Uganda wouldn’t let me go! Now based on the edge of Kibale Forest – the adventure continues.
