Birding experience

Uganda is one of the best birding destinations world over, The avifauna of Uganda included a total of 1066 confirmed species as of May 2020. Of which, one is endemic, 66 are accidental, and three have been introduced by humans. Three additional species are hypothetical and are not included in the counts.

With Queen Elizabeth National Park accounting for over 600 bird species within the Park. This is mostly due to the wide variety of habitats: from Savannah to forest to wetland and so on and 350 species in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park with many species endemic to the Western Rift Valley's mountains.

Bwindi is thought to have one of the richest faunal communities in East Africa. Murchison falls national park is also another birding haven with over 451 bird species which include albertine rift endemics, water and savannah birds.

Far northeast is Kidepo valley national park, home to the second highest population of birds with 470 recorded species, head back towards central and hit mabira, mamba for the shoe bill and lake mburo national park for another whooping 310 species in Uganda's smallest savannah park.

With all that said, look no further than Uganda for your memorable birding experience.
