Uganda Birding Safaris - Bird Watching Tour in Uganda by Africa Adventure Safaris
BIRD WATCHING IN UGANDA
Sir Fredrick Jackson, former Governor of the Uganda Protectorate and a keen ornithologist, described Uganda as a “hidden Eden…and a wonderland for birds”. The Uganda’s phenomenal avian diversity motivates most birders to Africa to venture the vast plains and lush forests in Uganda where keen birders can ably identify at least 500 species just on a three week stay. No other area in Africa can match Uganda’s amazing diversity of habitats which are responsible for the ever-burgeoning bird list of over 1000 species. Amongst these are many special birds, such as the shoebill and the numerous splendid endemics of the Albertine Rift valley that can not be found elsewhere.
When birding in Uganda, behave as you would anywhere else. Respect habitats, laws and rights of local people. There are very few birders resident in Uganda and records from visiting birdwatchers are always enthusiastically received at the National Biodiversity Data Bank. All records of rare birds may be worth publishing.

ITEMS YOU NEED FOR BIRDING
You need items of equipment that include a small medical kit, a warm jersey for the highlands, sun protection gear (hat, sunscreen and sunglasses), mosquito net and a repellant, water purification tablets, a portable spotlight/a torch with spare batteries, gumboots, or bring fast drying sturdy boots. A telescope may not be very much necessary but can be helpful for scanning the forest canopy. For budget birders, camping equipment such as a tent can be helpful but generally not necessary. Bring with you Malaria prophylaxis. Ensure you obtain immunization for yellow fever, tetanus, hepatitis A, polio, rabies, typhoid and meningitis.
