Griffin Falls Camp in Mabira Forest
Griffin Falls Camp in the Mabira Forest, which is located along the Kampala-Jinja road. It is a great place for those looking for excitement and an adrenaline rush when on a safari in Uganda.
At this camp, they use a canopy “zip-line” system called the Mabira Forest Canopy Super Skyway. It sends you soaring between the tallest trees in the rainforest, making you swing fast amongst the trees.
While up there, you will be able to see the various forest layers from a high vantage point in the canopy, hear the roar of the griffin falls, and see sea mammals like the red-tailed and grey-cheeked mangabeys.
You will also see birds like the great blue turaco, long-tailed cuckoo, grey parrot, African fish eagle, and palm nut vulture.
Participants have hoisted up the first tree, brought through the entire system, and repelled on a 78m diagonal zip passing through ancient trees while being led by experienced Sky guides across a network of 5 zip lines that stretches 250 meters across the River Musamya.
The entire process lasts no more than 4 hours.
