Budongo Central Forest Reserve

The main attractions of Budongo forest are the numerous primates and affordable chimp visits, the prolific bird life and the huge mahogany trees that dominate the forest in this area. The forest is right on the road to Murchison Falls, just to the south of the park, and is a great place to stop and have a guided walk through the dense virgin tropical forest. The forest’s Royal Mile is thought by many to offer the best bird-watching in the whole of Uganda . There are more than 350 species found here, including several types of King Fishers, hornbill and eagle.
