Kibale National Park is a national park in South Uganda protecting moist evergreen rain forest. It is 766 km2 (296 sq mi) in size and is located between 1,100–1,600 meters (3,600–5,200 ft) in elevation. Despite encompassing primarily moist evergreen forest, it contains a diverse array of landscapes.〔McGrew, William, ''et al''. ''Great Ape Societies''. Cambridge University Press, 1996. Print.〕 Kibale is one of the last remaining expanses to contain both lowland and montane forests. In East Africa, it sustains the last significant expanse of pre-montane forest.〔Moukaddem, Karimeh. ("National Parks do not Contribute to Poverty, finds decade long study." ) Mongobay.com 24 August 2011. n. pag. Web. 5 Oct. 2011.〕 The park was gazetted in 1932 and formally established in 1993 to protect a large area of forest previously managed as a logged Forest Reserve. The park forms a continuous forest with Queen Elizabeth National Park. This adjoining of the parks creates a 180 km (111 mi) wildlife corridor. It is an important eco-tourism and safari destination, popular for its population of habituated chimpanzees and 12 other species of primates. It is also the location of the Makerere University Biological Field Station (MUBFS).〔(About Kibale National Park )〕 ==Location== Kibale National Park is located in the districts of Kabarole and Kamwenge, approximately , by road, west of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.
