Budongo Forest Reserve

Budongo Forest Reserve is one of Uganda's largest and most ancient mahogany forests β€” a beautiful, under-visited wilderness located on the edge of Murchison Falls National Park. Home to habituated chimpanzee groups, the forest offers one of the quietest and most exclusive chimpanzee trekking experiences in East Africa. The combination of Budongo chimpanzee trekking with a Murchison Falls game drive and Nile boat cruise creates one of Uganda's finest multi-activity safari itineraries. Rich in birdlife and primate diversity, Budongo is perfect for travelers who want to go off the beaten path.
