18 Days Best Uganda Forest Birding Safari

Uganda is a small landlocked country lying on the elevated basin in between the western and eastern arms of the great rift valley, supporting a recorded 1043 species of birds with Africa’s number one birding site and perhaps the whole world thus deserving a reputation of being the “Eden of Birding” with African Birding Journeys.

Uganda, once the “Pearl of the British Empire ” in East Africa is one of the most beautiful countries which is Africa condensed with the best of everything which the continent has to offer all packed into this small country to the size of Great Britain or the State of Oregon. One-sixth of its area is covered by water. Large lakes including Albert, Victoria, the source of the White Nile, Kyoga, Edward and Lake George.

Situated on the equator Uganda has an area contiguous with the great Guinea/Congo Basin rainforest on its Western border. Subsequently there are a number of West and Central African bird species occurring in Uganda that are not found elsewhere in East Africa. These “Uganda specials” are very difficult to see elsewhere, come try them out on this trip!!!
