Whispers in the Forest: A 2-Day Journey into Mpanga

Walking through Roots, Rainlight, and Memory

Escape the city and step into Mpanga Central Forest Reserve, a lush tropical forest just an hour outside Kampala. This 2-day journey invites you to walk slowly, observe deeply, and listen—to birdsong, rustling leaves, and the ancient stillness of the trees.

Arrive mid-morning and settle into Mpanga Eco Lodge, tucked beneath a canopy of mahogany and fig trees. Begin your forest walk with a local guide, tracing trails once used by herbalists and gatherers. Along the way, learn about the forest’s unique ecology—over 200 tree species, medicinal plants, and more than 300 species of butterflies and birds.

In the evening, gather for a night walk, where glowing eyes and forest echoes remind you that the forest never truly sleeps. Overnight in forest-view cottages or tents, immersed in the pulse of green.

Day two begins with a quiet dawn bird walk, followed by breakfast in the open air. Spend time journaling, sketching, or simply resting before returning to Kampala, carrying the hush of the forest with you.
