Forest Walks

This guided outing follows the Munyaga Waterfall Trail, covering roughly two and a half miles over about three hours. A ranger from the Uganda Wildlife Authority leads the route through thick forest, stands of bamboo and open clearings, terrain that shelters giant forest hogs, chimpanzees, baboons and several monkey species, among them red-tailed, blue and colobus. It works well as an easier day either side of gorilla tracking, giving legs and lungs a gentler test while still moving through Bwindi's varied terrain. No climbing gear or prior experience is needed, just sturdy boots and a readiness to walk.
