The Budongo Forest in Uganda is northwest of the capital city Kampala on the way to Murchison Falls National Park and is located on the escarpment northeast of Lake Albert. It covers parts of Hoima and Kikuube.[1][2] It is known for its former abundance of East African mahogany trees as well as being home to a population of chimpanzees.[3] An exceptionally large mahogany tree is still found here and is more than 80 meters tall and some 20 meters in circumference. The forest covers 82,530 hectares and is a catchment for Lake Albert.[1][4][5] It is managed by National Forestry Authority (NFA).[6][7]
