Guided Nature Walk 
A nature walk starts with a local guide assigned to you, it can be a female or male guide, who leads into the swamp, but the hike will lead you through local farms, before entering the swamp, once in the swamp, you will begin to look out for the iconic bird the great blue turaco, you will proceed jumping and crossing water streams into deep the swamp where the thickness of nature is felt, you will hear nothing else but surrounded by thick and tangible nature, such an amazing experience. Different trails take you to different parts of the swamp, and only the Bigodi’s guides know the trails well, as you nature, you will catch another trail that will lead you to see lots of monkeys from the colobus monkeys to grey-cheeked monkeys and even more, another trail leads you to the edges of the swamp with an opportunity to see local communities, children, and adults tend to their farms.
You will then connect to the Murram road within the swamp, where your driver/guide will be waiting for you. Nature takes about 3 hours, and it’s not straining, the trails are well laid out, and the walk from the start to the end is an interesting venture. 
To make it easier for the nature walk in the swamp, wooden pathways were fixed, on the pathways, especially on slippery trails.
