Budongo Forest & the Royal Mile
Africa's most legendary forest birding trail
About this destination
East Africa's largest mahogany forest — chimpanzee tracking and the famed Royal Mile birding trail beside Murchison Falls.
Budongo's 825 km² of moist semi-deciduous forest holds an estimated 600 chimpanzees and 360 bird species. The Royal Mile — a straight, level forestry track once used by Bunyoro royalty — is the single most celebrated forest birding trail in Africa.
Pair Budongo with a Murchison Falls itinerary: chimp tracking from Busingiro at dawn and a Royal Mile birding morning before crossing into the savannah.
