Two Day in search of the Shoebill Stork Safari:   Introductory primer to Uganda Birding. A 2 day mini-birding safari to Entebbe and Mabamba Swamp.  Close to Kampala and yet it seems far away, the peace of the Botanical Gardens at Entebbe with its fabulous plants and vegetation grazed by hundreds of different species of birds and then Mabamba swamp with its Shoebill Stork and other water birds, float across this ancient swamp and take in the peace around you, the birds in the reeds and overhead and it is a day well worth it.

Mabira Rainforest Birding Safari:  Two days in the largest rainforest in the central area of Uganda.  Lovely forest and great forest birding.  This is the only rainforest near Kampala and portions were to be allocated to a sugar conglomerate but due to a wide protest both within and outside of Uganda it has not taken place.  Just one hour from Uganda, you can stay in the lovely Rainforest Lodge, take guided walks through the forest and see small mammals, monkeys and lots of birds, it is a peaceful setting and gives you an African Rainforest close to Kampala.

Mgahinga Gorilla Park: Birding at Mgahinga Gorilla Park in Uganda, combine with hiking, golden monkey or Mountain Gorilla tracking (trekking).  This is one of the scenic wonder parks Uganda.  It has a gorilla group that shifts back and forth between Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC, but there are hikes up the volcanoes and along through bamboo forest with lots of birds, most of them have never been recorded because Mgahinga is sort of bypassed, however it is simply bypassed. 

Lake Mburo Birding Safari:  A great two day birding and wildlife Safari to the closest National Park to Kampala.  You can take a one day, or two day Birding Safari to Lake Mburo and combine it with wildlife viewing, take a boat ride on Lake Mburo and simply enjoy the birds in the overhanging trees, overhead or as a fish eagle dives into the lake for tasty tilapia.  Shoebill storks can also be found here...you can stay in the up-market comfort or budget, both choices have tented camps.

Mount Elgon Hiking and Birding Safari: 3 Days of Birding and Hiking around Sipi Falls in Eastern Uganda.  Hike around Sipi Falls and discover the beauty of Eastern Uganda climbing an extinct volcano that was higher than Kilimanjaro until the top blew off.  Hike through Bamboo Forest, Afro Montane vegetation and find birds found nowhere else in Uganda. This safari also spends the last day going to the source of the Nile where you will also find some water birds.

The Sipi falls and cave alone are worth, but there is so much that awaits you including a multitude of birds

Murchison Falls National Park and Budongo Forest Birding Safari:  Five days of fantastic birding with the added bonus of wildlife and most fantastic scenery.  What can one say about Murchison Falls, but that it is simply fabulous and a great variety birds and wildlife is found there.  Then this birding safari will take you to the famous Magic Mile at Budongo Forest where you can always tie in some chimpanzee tracking the in the old growth Mahogany Forest.

Queen Elizabeth National Park Birding Safari:  Five days in the National Park with more birds than anywhere else in Uganda, plus great wildlife.  Queen Elizabeth is the one park with more birds than any other one in Uganda.  Pelicans, Shoebill storks, flamingoes and hundreds can be found here, besides the fantastic wildlife that calls QEP home.  There is savanna, lakes, including crater lakes, forest, and large lakes all providing for different species of bird and given you maximum variety.

5 Days of Gorillas and Birding in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest:  A classic combination Safari combining Gorillas and Birding.  Bwindi Forest with its streams, waterfalls, lush and verdant vegetation provides a great habitat for a variety of birds and mammals.  Known mostly for its mountain gorillas, but it is also a birders paradise and the perfect place to spend 5 days the Forest of Bwindi meaning Darkness in the local language.
