18-day Uganda Birds and Gorillas Safari

Uganda is only half the size of Kenya and yet has almost the same number of bird species (about 1000)! This is an impressive tally, since many people regard Kenya as Africa’s greatest birding destination - but Uganda is in actual fact TWICE as bird-rich as Kenya (per unit size)! During our 18-day birding adventure, we look for the 24 Albertine Rift endemics inhabiting Uganda, spectacular birds such as African Green Broadbill, African Grey Parrot and Shoebill and up to 450 other bird species. In addition, we also look for Gorilla, Chimpanzee, tree-climbing lions and a plethora of other spectacular mammals. Uganda is a very beautiful and incredibly diverse country (all packed into a small area), 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.
