Bugoma Forest is located in Western Uganda, between the towns of Hoima and Kagadi.

Perched on the edge of the vast Bugoma Forest, Bugoma Jungle Lodge offers an intimate and immersive stay surrounded by untouched tropical rainforest. This eco-friendly lodge blends seamlessly into its natural setting, with elevated wooden cottages and safari tents tucked under the canopy, allowing guests to fall asleep to the sounds of the forest and wake to birdsong each morning.

Rooms are spacious yet rustic, featuring comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas overlooking the greenery. The lodge’s open-air restaurant and bar provide sweeping forest views, serving freshly prepared meals and offering a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxation between activities.

Evenings at the lodge are calm and serene, with lantern-lit pathways, starry skies, and the distant calls of nocturnal animals creating an authentic jungle atmosphere

Mangabey trekking offers a unique opportunity to explore Uganda’s tropical forests in search of the charismatic and highly active grey-cheeked mangabey. Led by experienced forest guides, the trek takes visitors along natural trails where these agile primates leap through the canopy in noisy, energetic groups. Their distinctive whooping calls echo through the forest, helping trackers locate them as they feed, groom, and play in the branches above. Unlike gorilla or chimp trekking, mangabey encounters are often faster-paced and filled with movement, making the experience especially exciting for primate enthusiasts and birders. With fewer tourists visiting mangabey habitats, the activity feels wild, intimate, and refreshingly off the beaten track—an excellent addition for anyone looking to diversify their primate encounters in Uganda.
