Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary

At 3:00 PM, a guided walk in the Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary where you are taken into the world of a jungle swamp, a unique experience. Much of the trail is across walkways using wooden planks so that you are above the marsh. Light hiking boots are excellent for most. This is a 3-hour walk and is a must for bird lovers, those that want something totally out of the ordinary – a jungle swamp, and those that enjoy monkeys and primates. Primates such as Red Colobus Monkeys, Gray Cheeked Mangabey’s, L’Hoest Monkeys, Vervet Monkeys, Blue Monkeys, Baboons, Black and White Colobus, Red Colobus, and the occasional Chimpanzees can be found. Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary is also home to many mammals including the rare and elusive, semi-aquatic Sitatunga Antelopes (they have webbed toes) who make their home here. There are also Bush Pigs, Bush Bucks, Otters, Mongooses. Over 138 bird species have been spotted here, and of course, Bigodi Wetlands is best known for being home to the Great Blue Turaco.
