BIRD WATCHING SAFARIS IN UGANDA

There can be few destinations on Earth where one can expect to find over 600 bird species in one park alone - Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park is one. Uganda is arguably the best birding destination in Africa. With over 1040 bird species already recorded in the country, Uganda is the best place to go birding in Africa.

The country has notable destinations with a good number of birds. Queen Elizabeth National Park, also a good place for game viewing has 606 bird species recorded. 350 species have been recorded in the Bwindi Impenetrable forest, which is alos a home to more than half of the remaing mountain gorillas. These two parks alone are among the richest protected areas to be found anywhere on Earth.

Uganda is not new to birders. Several tourists have visited the country and visited diferent destinations that include forests, wetlands, savanna grasslands etc. Accolades for Uganda's birding delights are rarely understated. Nigel Wheatley, for instance, in Where to Watch Birds in Africa (1995) said: "In terms of its size, Uganda is the richest country for birds in Africa. " And this immense volume and diversity occurs miraculously in a space which keen birders can cover in a relatively short visit.

Philip Briggs writes: "Uganda is arguably the best country in Africa for birds, with about 1000 species recorded in an area the size of great Britain. "
