Uganda Birding Safaris

Bird watching safaris in Uganda are thriving with a vast gemstone of over 1,000 bird species that have attracted attention in recent years. Uganda’s story of bird watching is a bad to good narration. There was always a scuffle between bird watchers and the local people who settled around the birding places. Back then, residents could chase bird watchers with machetes suspecting them to be land grabbers who were trying to inspect and take their land forcefully.

However, the continued efforts of several organizations to promote and shape bird watching like the Uganda Bird Guides Club has now helped to turn Uganda into an Ornithologist’s dream. The presence of thousands of bird species in Uganda’s variety of rainforests makes the Pearl of Africa one of the bird watching destinations in Africa and the world at large.

An excellent birding trip with Epic.
I travelled alone at the beginning of March for 12 days birding with Pic and Moses as my guide. It was an amazing trip... read more where we were able to find almost all my favourite list checks. He is a super nice driver, observant and Soo keen when it comes to his work. We used both mid-range and Luxury lodges whose services and food was supper nice. Am still compiling my report but can't recommend this local agency and Moses as a guide.

Okay, this is Africaand that means a certain level of discomfort, and some uncertainty, is a given. Dust, bad roads, bland food, bottled water only. Driving times are always underestimated.... read more That said, Uganda is beautiful. The wildlife and birds are amazing. Epic has great guides who do their best to accommodate the needs and wishes of their guests, and who know the country and wildlife well. At the most popular locations (Gorillas, chimps, etc.) you are in the hands of local guides and rangers who are also first rate. Overall an excellent and authentic African and Ugandan experience! Recommended.
