We explore the existence of the collective orbital excitations, orbitons, in the canonical orbital system KCuF_{3} using the Cu L_{3}-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. We show that the nondispersive high-energy peaks result from the Cu^{2+} dd orbital excitations. These high-energy modes display good agreement with the ab initio quantum chemistry calculation, indicating that the dd excitations are highly localized. At the same time, the low-energy excitations present clear dispersion. They match extremely well with the two-spinon continuum following the comparison with Müller ansatz calculations. The localized dd excitations and the observation of the strongly dispersive magnetic excitations suggest that the orbiton dispersion is below the resolution detection limit. Our results can reconcile with the strong local Jahn-Teller effect in KCuF_{3}, which predominantly drives orbital ordering.
