BIRDING IN UGANDA
Most of our tours primarily natural history with focus on birds. We encounter lots of interesting mammals, plants and trees, people, reptiles, amphibians, and interesting things along the way. Our highly trained guides will help you see, identify, and understand the different aspects of these attractions.
Gorilla tracking, Golden Monkey tracking, and Chimpanzee Tracking, are usually an optional excursion and those not wishing to do them, can spend time interacting with the communities in the community walks, or looking the excellent birds around.
CONSERVATION TOUR
As wildlife tourism struggles to resurrect after being hard-hit by the COVID 19 pandemic, the onus remains on us to ensure that the wildlife remains alive. We feel that the patrons of the wildlife need to keep hope alive and this is only most possible when they see travelers still coming to see wildlife despite the unbearable current challenges.
We have no doubt that there are travelers like us who want to be out there with the animals despite the current global health and financial challenges. Therefore we at Bird Uganda Safaris have made a decision to contribute to this cause by offering this non-profit making Uganda Birding and Wildlife Tour
