Mabira Forest, nestled between Kampala (55 km) and Jinja (40 km), serves as a perfect pitstop for travelers heading between Entebbe, Kampala, and Jinja. Accessible after departing the main road onto a bumpy 10 km stretch, Griffin Falls Camp offers a variety of exhilarating activities.
Ziplining and a short hike cost $50 per person in cash (preferably in Ugandan Shillings). The activity lasts 2 to 4 hours, contingent on group size and pace. Note: Mabira Forest lacks mobile network coverage, so pre-coordinate with your guide or taxi driver.
For ziplining, opt for light, breathable attire and closed-toe shoes with reliable grip. Bring a jacket or sweater for weather changes, and consider sun protection and insect repellent. Secure your glasses, and receive tailored safety equipment (helmet and ropes).
The zipline adventure begins with briefing and safety gear. After a 20-minute walk to the departure platform, ascend into the trees—the most thrilling part! Zipline along the cable course, enjoying lush views and keeping an eye out for monkeys and birds. Conclude with a 45-60 minute forest hike back to base camp.
