The evergreen rainforests of Uganda's west contain lowland and montane forests that sustain a bevy of wildlife. Together, Kibale Forest National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park serve as an important corridor for wildlife, and provide 180 square kilometres of wilderness for some 13 species of primates, and forest elephants, among others. The brand-new Turaco Tree Tops borders Kibale Forest, allowing easy access for days of exploration. A rustic camp built into the trees, it offers sublime views of the canopy and the snow-capped Rwenzori range.
Private chalets in the forest are reached via wooden walkways, along which you're likely to encounter monkeys, bushbabies and birds galore. Each chalet, built on stilts and ringed by a wooden deck, has good views over the canopy toward the spine of mountains. Inside, your creature comforts include a double bed with good mattress, a sitting area, en-suite bathroom with hot shower and flush toilet. Large windows allow plenty of natural light, and a ceiling fan keeps the air flowing.
