Uganda is one of Africa’s most rewarding birding destinations, boasting over 1,090 bird species—more than half of Africa’s total bird population. From the misty forests of Bwindi to the vast wetlands of Mabamba and the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda offers exceptional opportunities for both amateur and professional birders.
