BUDONGO CHIMPANZEE TRAIL AT EDINBURGH ZOO

A walkthrough of the Chimpanzee Budongo Trail at Edinburgh Zoo.

The Budongo Trail is one of the world's most innovative and interactive chimpanzee enclosures.
Home to 16 chimps, the exhibit allows you to watch these amazing creatures and learn all about the links between humans and our closest relative.

Fun facts!

With such large living quarters, the Budongo Trail can actually house up to 40 chimps

The outdoor area boasts a huge climbing frame and plenty of vegetation, giving our chimps great opportunities for fun, foraging and exercise

The indoor rooms, or ‘pods’, all have different environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and lighting, so each chimp can choose their preferred “hangout”

The enclosure was specially designed to stimulate the chimps to use and show natural physical, social and mental behaviours that would be observed in the wild
