This 14-day Uganda Birding Safari offers an exceptional opportunity to explore some of the most diverse and bird-rich ecosystems in East Africa. From the papyrus-lined wetlands of Mabamba to the savannahs of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks, the rainforests of Kibale and Bwindi, and the acacia woodlands of Lake Mburo, this safari is specially crafted for avid birders and nature lovers. With over 1,070 recorded bird species, Uganda is a birder’s paradise — home to Albertine Rift endemics, waterfowl, forest specialists, and the elusive Shoebill.
