Maramagambo Forest in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Maramagambo Forest is a tropical rainforest located in southwestern Uganda, near the town of Kasese. It is part of the larger Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is a popular tourist destination known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes.
The Maramagambo Forest covers an area of approximately 300 square kilometers and is characterized by dense vegetation, towering trees, and a rich biodiversity. It is home to various species of plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Some of the notable wildlife species found in the forest include chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, elephants, antelopes, and a wide range of bird species.
One of the unique features of the Maramagambo Forest is its network of underground caves. These caves, formed by ancient volcanic activity, are a popular attraction for visitors. The most famous of these caves is the “Bat Cave,” which is home to thousands of bats. Visitors can observe the bats as they fly in and out of the cave during specific times of the day.
The forest also offers opportunities for nature walks, bird watching, and primate tracking. Guided tours are available for visitors who want to explore the forest and learn about its flora and fauna. The surrounding area of Queen Elizabeth National Park provides additional activities such as game drives, boat safaris along the Kazinga Channel, and visits to the famous Ishasha sector known for its tree-climbing lions.
