Uganda is a small “Land locked” country almost half the size of Kenya and yet has almost the same number of bird species (over 1000). This is an impressive tally, since many people regard Kenya as Africa’s greatest birding destination; Uganda is actually TWICE as bird-rich (per unit size) with 850 resident birds making it the richest in Africa for birds. During our birding adventure, we look for the 24 Albertine Rift endemics inhabiting Uganda, spectacular birds such as African Green Broadbill, African Grey Parrot, Shoebill and up to 400-500 other bird species. In addition, we also look for Gorilla, Chimpanzee and a variety of other primates, tree-climbing lions and a plethora of other spectacular mammals. Uganda is a very beautiful and incredibly diverse country, with the source of the White Nile on Lake Victoria (Africa’s largest lake) to snow-capped Mountains, to tropical lowland jungle to typical African savannah and even desert.
