Reviews & Amenities
Top Descriptions
| Kalinzu Forest Reserve is a worthwhile stop off, especially if you’re heading between Mbarara and Queen Elizabeth National Park. There are a multitude of conservancy activities here but easily the most popular is Chimpanzee Tracking. It’s a worthwhile experience for sure, and far cheaper than doing the same in Kibale Forest National Park and reportedly much more successful than the same experience in the nearby Kyambura Gorge. – Daniel |

Top Tips
| To contact the reserve, try Judith the manager (0704933408), Lucky the supervisor (0750827667) or Lawrence the guide (0703444188). |
| Although camping here is only UGX10,000, if you’re thinking about exploring the reserve without a guide then be forewarned that this forest is quite thick and the trails quite overgrown. |
| Consider coming here to go Chimpanzee Tracking. It’s a worthwhile experience. |
