À vivre

At the heart of the Kibale region, the Bigodi wetlands offer an exceptional immersion in a rich, well-preserved ecosystem. This ecotourism sanctuary is a true haven for birdwatchers, home to more than 200 bird species. On a guided 3-hour walk along a 5 km trail, you'll have the opportunity to observe emblematic species such as the great blue turaco, the grey crowned crane, hornbills, the papyrus gonolek, the crowned eagle, and even the pygmy honeyguide.
But Bigodi is not limited to birds: its wetlands teem with life.
You may encounter colorful butterflies, elusive otters, and several primate species, including black-and-white colobus monkeys and vervets. The luckiest visitors might spot a sitatunga, a rare antelope adapted to wetland habitats. A fascinating walk through lush biodiversity.
