Birdwatching in Uganda
There are many hundreds of birds in Uganda across the full range of habitats. There are opportunities to see birds in open savanah, open woodlands, forested regions and riverine locations.
Patrick will ensure you get the best opportunity to see your target species, or as many as possible, whichever suits your style of birdwatching.
Shoebill Stork
One of the rarest birds in the world. This bizarre looking Shoebill Stork can be found in a few locations in Uganda.
This photo was taken in Mabamba Wetland where we ventured with a local guide in a boat, to see this magnificent specimen catching a fish and stalking in its swampy environment.
Barbet
This little bird is difficult to see as it usually moves through the upper canopy of trees in its quest for food.
This barbet was one of a pair observed in the Botanic Gardens in Entebbe.
Touraco
A bird of the forest that may be difficult to spot even though it is brightly coloured. The touraco tends to be hidden amongst the foliage as it seeks out its favourite fruits
Can be found in several locations, this one was seen in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
