Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tolley’s forest chameleon sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 6 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Tolley’s forest chameleon in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–June, August and October–December, the lowest months. That is one of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park's wettest months, with about 290 mm of rain against 65 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tolley’s forest chameleon sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in our data
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tolley’s forest chameleon sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chamaeleonidae
The closest relatives of the Tolley’s forest chameleon that you can see in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (family Chamaeleonidae, Chameleons) are Johnston's Chameleon (about 50%) and Montane side-striped chameleon (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tolley’s forest chameleon is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
