MABIRA FOREST BIRDING DAY TOUR
Our Mabira Forest Birding Day Tour will visit this unique and beautiful forest, North of the Lake Victoria Basin. This unique forest is located North of Uganda’s main urban areas of Kampala and Entebbe. Here we shall enjoy birding all day as we seek the special forest species that call this place home.
Mabira Forest Reserve is famous for being the largest block of moist semi-deciduous forest in the central region of Uganda. There are several flat-topped hills around the forest that are easy to explore, including their shallow valleys. In these valleys, some papyrus swamps also host great wetland species.
We shall then head back to our lodge, marking the end to our lovely Mabira Forest Birding Day Tour.
