The Sunbird Hill Experience, Kibale Forest edge
A true naturalist’s delight, this immersive half-day experience at this research and monitoring site hosts visitors for tailor-made forest and wildlife experiences. Leisurely walks follow along forest-edge trails, home to 300 bird species, 280 butterflies, beetles, reptiles, frogs, and native plants. Expert local naturalists will help you spot the intriguingly named Flying Handkerchief, and the elusive Black Bee-eater and share camera trap evidence of nocturnal visitors such as the elusive serval cat. On this private 43-acre rewilding site, you won’t want to miss the elephant trench, healing garden, or Village Bird Club for local youngsters. Visitor donations support the nonprofit group, In the Shadow of Chimpanzees, and includes refreshments, plus access to the Birders’ Lounge and natural history library. Overnight nature experience available on request.
