I would rate Budongo Forest as an excellent and highly rewarding tourist attraction, especially for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and adventure travelers. It stands out as one of Uganda’s premier ecotourism destinations and a must-visit for anyone exploring the western part of the country.

A very green paradise!
Budongo Forest Reserve was a very good surprise i had heard about the conservation efforts for the budongo chimps, but it was better then i had imagined. The tropical forest is amazing, and i had never seen so many butterflies in one place. I arrived with a group o18 people, we had transportation arranged previously but we spent the night before at Masindi, the closest city. Accommodation at the reserve's lodge was basic but comfortable, we had shared showers but everything was very clean, and the lodge was full with our group and two girls doing research, so i didn't have that overcrowded feel. People there were very welcoming, and they are very in-tuned with the conservation projects. We went to see chimpanzees and we were very lucky, we saw a hole group finishing their meal, a lot of vocalizations, and then leaving coming down just a couple of meters from us. I definitely recommend visiting Budongo forest!
