Bird Watching Safaris


Uganda is one of the Top birding destinations in Africa & if not in the World. There can be few destinations in the World with a variety of species as Uganda. This potential for birding safaris was identified about 100 years ago by Sir Fredrick Jackson

Former governor of Uganda protectorate,  a keen ornithologist, who described it as ‘ Hidden Eden and Wonderland for Birds.’


There are over 1000 species of birds in Uganda. Most of these can be watched in Lake Victoria Region, Ngamba & Lutembe areas near Entebbe. Other areas include; Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lakes Kyoga and Edward. The Ngamba area is known for shoe bill stalk. Uganda has over 30000square kilometers of Wetlands. The shoe bill population is about 400 – 600. Some of the the common birds are; Karamoja Apalis, Black Bee Eater, Rwenzori Turaco, Red – Fronted Great White  EgretAntpecker, Purvell’s Lladopsis, African Jacana, African Green Broadbill, Green-breasted Pitta, Nahan’s Francolin and Brown-Chested Plover.
