Bird Life & Birding Chimpnest Safari Lodge
Our lodge is blessed with rich bird life around the lodge and the neighbouring places given the advantage of being at the edge of the Kibale forest and also the presence of our own forest at the lodge which gives these birds a habitat and food at the same time. Some of these birds are now residents while others are frequent visitors that come through occasionally.
While at the lodge premises, you are at luck to see more than 50 different bird species all in their natural habitat and a walk through the birding trails at the lodge is such a worthwhile activity in your free time.
