Uganda, nicknamed the ‘Pearl of Africa’ for its breathtaking natural beauty, is a country brimming with potential in East Africa.

This country is a treasure trove for bird enthusiasts in search of unique and coveted bird and gorilla species.

With its awe-inspiring Murchison Falls and vast savannas, the country showcases a remarkable contrast. Uganda is home to an exceptional diversity of habitats, supporting over 1,100 bird species and providing opportunities to see highly sought-after birds like the Shoebill, Grey Crowned Crane, and the stunning endemic species at the Albertine Rift Valley.

At the heart of Uganda’s birding appeal lies in Bwindi Forest. It is a true gem as the leading birding species spotted here.  This pristine rainforest is not only home to over 360 bird species but also shelters the largest population of endangered Mountain Gorillas.
