The trek is very straightforward, with a steady rise through montane forest that features large trees, dense undergrowth, and a wide variety of birds and primates. The next section of the trip is a rather steep ascent up a ridge below Omusita Rest Spot, which is 2,373 meters high and where you connect the trail that descends from Samalira. There is a great diversity of trees and flora in the pristine woodlands. In this diverse habitat, one can hear and view a wide variety of bird species. After crossing a few minor streams and rivers and climbing for a few kilometers, we diverge onto our birding trail. A few distances from the turnoff, you will notice signs of bush pigs foraging for roots and grubs in the undergrowth and along the path. You might be able to spot these bashful creatures if you stroll quietly. After that, the walk continues along the upper course of the Nyamwamba River, offering views of both the river and the stunning ravine forests that border it. You can stroll down a short route to the river’s edge, where you could spot kingfishers and other water-loving species. The trees grow higher, larger, and more angular as you ascend. Chimpanzee calls reverberate across the valley, and other species of primates are frequently seen and heard. High up in the tallest trees, you may observe chimp nests built of twigs and branches. During the fruiting season, the chimps utilize these nests for many weeks before moving on to find other food sources. If you’re lucky, you might spot a group of ten to fifteen black and white Colobus monkeys swinging through the branches—especially if there are any fruit-bearing trees nearby. You might occasionally spot a blue monkey. It is well worth the effort to enjoy this special setting because of the forest, the abundance of different plant species, and the surrounding area along the river.
