Nature Walks and Other Activities in the Mabira Central Forest Reserve

Mabira is a deep rain forest with approximately 68 km of well-developed paths. The forest is a lovely environment for walking experiences, and there are plentiful primate populations, such as red-tailed monkeys, black and white Colobus monkeys, and grey-cheeked mangabeys.

Trekking uphill.

One of the best things to do in Mabira Forest is to rent mountain bikes and ride around the forest’s edge paths, taking in the breathtaking scenery along the way.

Research and Education on the Environment.

A significant part of MAFICO’s objective is environmental education. Griffin Falls Camp welcomes students of all academic backgrounds. Programs are available for elementary and secondary schools, and we also provide guides that may help with research at the university or professional level. Large groups may be accommodated and educated by us. Hiking, picnics, and camping.

The Mabira Forest Reserve has a campground where campers may set up their tents for the night.

Primate Observation.

Three kinds of monkeys call Mabira home: the red-tailed monkey, the black-and-white Colobus monkey, and the Uganda mangabey. We will identify butterflies and explore the forest in general.
