Maramagambo Forest

[1] It adjoins the Queen Elizabeth National Park to the north.

[3] It is associated with its bat cave where a tourist from the Netherlands was exposed to Marburg virus present in the bats that live in the volcanic tube cave and developed Marburg virus disease.

[4] Following this outbreak, the cave was closed until the construction of a viewing platform with support from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Many chimpanzees, red-tailed monkeys, and Bates's pygmy antelopes can be found here.
