Uganda is a country of startling contrasts. No other African country can match its astonishing variety of habitats including savanna, vast wetlands, arid semi-deserts, montane and lowland rainforests, volcanoes and an afro-alpine zone. Uganda’s bird life is remarkable, with birds found from both East and West Africa. A highlight is the chance to see the Shoebill — among Africa’s great rarities. Uganda boasts a national bird list of over 1008 species! This tour will explore Uganda’s fantastic national parks, including the Queen Elizabeth National Park, with large numbers of wild animals in a glorious setting of lakes, rivers and savannahs; and Murchison Falls National Park, where the riverbanks are lined with wildlife. We can expect to see elephants, lions, hippos, buffaloes, Uganda Kob and, of course, a great variety of birds. We will also spend time looking for the wild Mountain Gorilla’s and tracking other primates in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.
