Uganda, an Ideal Habitat for a Variety of Birds

May 17, 2017by admin0 comments

Uganda’s remarkable avian diversity (over 1000 species within an area the size similar to that of Great Britain) can be attributed to its location between the East African Savannah, West African rain forests and semi-desert of the North. Uganda offers easy access to bird-rich habitats that are difficult to reach elsewhere. Uganda is a prolific and one of the best birding destinations in Africa. It is the ideal habitat for a variety of birds.  It’s gifted with serene undulating hills of tea plantations, lush but ordered, give way to tangled jungle and rainforest with the musical accompaniment of chaotic, cacophonous birdlife. The tiniest sunbirds, iridescent in the morning light to the massive lumbering wildlife.
