Bigodi Wetland

The Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary sits on the edge of Kibale National Park and is run entirely by the local community, with revenue supporting village schools and clinics. A raised boardwalk and forest trails let you explore the papyrus swamp on foot with a local guide.

Eight primate species are found here, including red colobus, grey-cheeked mangabey and l’Hoest’s monkey, and the birding is exceptional with over two hundred species recorded, the great blue turaco among the most sought after. It pairs naturally with a morning of chimpanzee tracking in Kibale.
