Rabongo Forest
A riverside forest island surrounded by grasslands in the eastern part of the south bank, where you can hike to see black-and-white colobus monkeys and forest birds.
Rabongo Forest lies on the Sabari River in the southeast of the south bank. It is a riverine rainforest surrounded by vast grasslands and sees very few visitors. A guided forest walk of about 2 hours with a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide often reveals black-and-white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys and many forest birds. Elephants and buffalo are sometimes seen on the nearby grasslands. The roads are remote, so it suits visitors with plenty of time who want to avoid crowds.
