Where else would a sport like zip lining be more fun and adventurous than in the middle of a forest made up of a wide variety of different tree species, both big and small, like The Mabira Forest Canopy?
In Uganda’s Buikwe District, halfway between Lugazi and Jinja, the Mabira Forest is a rainforest area of 300 square kilometre size. Mabira is 59 kilometres from Kampala and can be reached by car in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The forest is home to about 315 different bird species, such as the Nahan’s francolin, Tit Hylia, yellow and grey long bills, and others. Safaris for birdwatching are highly recommended in the Mabira forest.
In Mabira Forest, you can find baboons, bush bigs, fruit bats, blue duikers, and many other kinds of mammals. 312 distinct species of trees can be found in Mabira Forest, including the well-known East African Mahogany tree species and several rare and imperilled species like Cordia millennia, Malilia excelsa, and Warburgia Ugandans. Mabira Forest, which offers zip lining among its many other attractions, is well worth a visit for those looking for exclusive day adventures.
Zip lining in Mabira
Uganda entails using a steel cable to travel between two points while donning a safety seat or a belt. Mabira Forest offers you an amazing zip-line experience unmatched by other locations. When you zip line across Mabira Forest’s tallest trees, you can experience what it would be like to soar through the air like a bird or swing from tree to tree high above the ground like a monkey. Up there in the tallest trees of Mabira Forest, you can get good views of the forest, observe animals like monkeys and grey-cheeked mangabeys that hang out in the trees and also hear various birds singing.
Six cables, each measuring 6 inches in length, make up the Mabira zip-lining tour which is suspended above the tall rainforest trees. A guide will be waiting for you on a built platform after you climb a tall tree to start the activity. He or she will walk you through the safety precautions before you zip-line the cable. The zip line’s end descends to the ground, where you are met by another guide who will help you untie your equipment.
Between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. m. and 1 p. m. and 2 p. m. and 6 p. m. zip-lining is practised. This is particularly true in dry seasons when there is less likelihood of rain interfering with your time spent in the trees or on muddy terrain when hiking to the zip line starting point.
Is Zip Lining in Mabira Forest Safe?
Therefore, the answer to your question is that zip lining is safe. With imported climbing equipment and high-art ropes, the zip line system was constructed following international safety standards. A guide is present at the start of the zip line to go over safety precautions, give you a helmet, and ensure that your ropes and gear are properly fastened before sending you off.
The other guide is stationed at the end of the zip-lining trail, where he or she releases your gear ties. The guides are adept at what they do because they are also skilled at persuading individuals who might be reluctant to participate in the activity that it won’t be risky or terrifying to do so. They ensure everyone’s safety so that some can release their hands and express their joy more fully.
Since they are trustworthy, you can give them access to your camera so they can take pictures of you as you pass through the cables.
