Birding in Uganda
Uganda is Africa’s most complete bird watching destination with over a 1000 recorded species. Although prolific throughout the country, key areas to visit include Queen Elizabeth National Park (600+ species), the Budongo Forest Royal Mile and, just 45 kms from Kampala, the Mabamba Wetlands which offer an 80% chance of observing the famous Shoebill Stork.
The Shoebill is an ornithologists motivation to go to Uganda such is the rareity of this swamp dwelling species, pictured below. The best places to view along with the Mabamba Wetlands are Murchison Falls and Semliki Wildlife Reserve. The Crowned or Crested Crane, pictured opposite, is Uganda's national bird.
