The guides and rangers have played a crucial role in habituating the monkeys, making them comfortable in the presence of humans.
While exploring the Mabira Rainforest, you’ll also be treated to sightings of other captivating wildlife. Look out for the playful red-tailed monkeys swinging through the branches, various species of colorful birds decorating the canopy, graceful butterflies dancing in the air, vibrant flowering plants dotting the forest floor, and ancient trees that have stood tall for centuries, providing shelter and sustenance to the diverse ecosystem.
The Uganda Mangabey Monkey has recently been recognized as a distinct and unique species, adding to its significance within the forest. For those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Mabira Forest is the perfect destination to track and observe these remarkable monkeys.

Lunch at the Rainforest Lodge and Ssezibwa Falls. Visit:
Ssezibwa Falls is a peaceful and enchanting place just a short drive from Kampala. It offers a harmonious blend of nature, culture, legends, scenic beauty, nature walks, and birding opportunities. It is remarkably serene during weekdays when it’s less crowded.
The falls hold great religious significance for many Ugandans, including the esteemed Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament. While most Ugandans identify themselves as Christians or Muslims, Ssezibwa Falls reflects the traditional beliefs that are still practiced by some. It is where traditional rituals and blessings, such as fertility blessings, are performed. Interestingly, even in the presence of the Anglican Church, which owns the site, people continue to bring offerings and pay respect to their ancestral beliefs.
Ssezibwa Falls serves as a bridge between traditional Ugandan customs and the influence of Christianity and Islam. It is a place where legends, myths, and traditional practices have found a place within these newer religions. You can find more information here to delve deeper into the cultural significance and stories associated with Ssezibwa Falls.
