MPANGA FOREST RESERVE BIRDING DAY TOUR
Our Mpanga Forest Reserve Birding Day Tour will visit this unique and beautiful forest, located a short drive from Kampala or Entebbe. The forest boats a great tract of natural woodland as well as small wetlands. We shall bird here on foot, walking along the designated forest trails. On the forest edges are great farmlands that also offer wonderful birds.
We shall also make some roadside stops to enjoy more birds at some local spots. These include spots where local papyrus swamps offer great wetland species.
We shall then head back to our lodge, marking the end to our lovely Mpanga Forest Reserve Birding Day Tour.
