Birding Tours Uganda~Rwanda

With up to 1388 species of birds and easy viewing of the large mammals, East Africa is one of the top birding and wildlife viewing destinations of the world.From the coastal forests, deserts, rolling savannah grassland, to montane forests and an extensive freshwater and saltwater lake system, it is a dream place for the expert and novice birder as well as any non-birding companion.

Uganda termed as the “Switzerland of Africa” is a premier country for keen birders. Our trips combine enjoying the wildlife while allocating more effort to finding the Albertine rift endemic birds together with a host of other species which are impossible or hard to see in other parts of East Africa.

Rwanda's Nyungwe forest boasts at least 280 species,that can be seen  including 26 of the so-called Albertine Rift Endemics – more than any other site in East Africa. The avian highlight is surely the great blue Turaco – an outlandish blue, red and green bird that has been described as looking like a streamlined psychedelic turkey.
