Barifa Forest

Barifa Forest is the biggest forest near Arua. Located southeast of Arua Hill, it extends up to Mvara and Muni. It was gazetted in 1948 but may soon be degazetted after consultations to pave way for the Nile Eco-City, a satellite city in Arua Municipality.[1] The new forest will be located in Logiri, Vurra County.

Activities

A few crops are grown in some areas and cattle grazing also takes place because of abundant grass. The Dorcus Inzikuru Stadium is also within the forest and can be accessed from Weatherhead Park Lane or Muni Road. The panoramic view on top of Arua Hill's East Side gives you a wholesome view of the forest canopy.
