The stretch of land where the National Park lies today was first gazetted as a logged forest area by the British administration in 1932. The British used the forest for various purposes especially protecting the forest and extracting hardwood for their day-to-day activities. In 1948, the forest was gazetted as a forest reserve still under the British administration in a bid to strengthen conservation efforts. It was not until 1993 that the reserve was upgraded to a National Park by the Ugandan government.   <strong>The uniqueness of Kibale National Park.</strong> The uniqueness of Kibale National Park lies in the huge number of primate species it hosts, both diurnal and nocturnal.
