Budongo Central Forest Reserve

Moving under tree canopy listening to the songs of the birds, #chimpanzees, tree species, and a taking a sight in the big mahogany trees ... listening to amazing stories of knowledgeable Site Guides like David. Is a memory already I like to tell you that Cafe Budongo has it all for you

The tropical rainforest is a beautiful place to be with a variety of life forms; plants, fungi, birds, mammals, primates and many others. One of the best places to be in Uganda!!!

I had a great time here. I went chimpanzee tracking here. It was amazing! The guide did a great job of finding the for us. We did a lot of off trail woods walking so be prepared for that. The paths are easy but there is quick walking though woods. (I’m sure they are able to accommodate for that). Listening to the chips communicate is something else! You will be standing and watching a few and the next thing you know they all start talking and you quickly realize they are all around you. This is something I would recommend all to go and do! There is also a bar at the entrance if you want to stop and have a drink, talk about your experience and to view photos that you got. If you feel my review helped in anyway or that it gave good details please click Thumbs up

The Omukama's mile was a learning experience, 12 of us hugged one tree, the butterflies were so beautiful

Full of sweet moments while enjoying the primate lifestyle...

It was really an amazing experience with a variety of bird species Its really best 4 bird watching Come see the only endemic bird Fox's weaver

I recently visited Budongo Forest in Uganda, the largest rainforest in Uganda and the eighth (8th) biggest rainforest in Africa. It's a few kilometres from my ancestral home in Nyabyeya village Masindi and was blown away by the beauty and diversity of the ecosystem. The forest is home to a wide variety of plant and animal life, including chimpanzees, elephants, and numerous species of birds. The guided tour through the forest was led by knowledgeable and friendly local guides who were able to point out interesting plants and animals, as well as provide information about the forest's history and cultural significance. The trails were well-maintained and easy to navigate, and the scenery was breathtaking. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to see the chimpanzees up close and personal. The guides were able to locate a group of chimps and we were able to observe them from a safe distance as they went about their daily activities. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Budongo Forest to anyone interested in experiencing the beauty and wonder of nature. It's a truly special place and I can't wait to go back and explore more of what it has to offer.

Unpleasant experience today - unfortunately. Trekking guide Deo led us through the rainforest for 4 hours. without the slightest sign of chimps. at 5 p.m. wanted to stop. were already out of the woods. then a short sound from the chimpanzees. for half a minute we saw 2-3 animals. and he charged us full price for it. 435,000 UGX. pure rip off. next time prefer Kibale NP again. there you get at least 1 hour full view of the animals. Budongo Forest Reserve is too unsafe! very bad experience at this Forest with chimpanzee Trekking & especially the Guide!
