10-Day Uganda Birdwatching Safari

A birder’s circuit of Uganda’s richest sites, paced for early-morning and late-afternoon activity.

Overview
10 Days / 9 Nights

Built specifically around Uganda’s status as one of Africa’s premier birding destinations, this itinerary is paced deliberately around the early-morning and late-afternoon windows serious birders need, moving through Mabamba Swamp, the Kazinga Channel, Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary and Bwindi’s forest interior.

Journey Highlights
  • A canoe search for the shoebill stork at Mabamba Swamp
  • A birding-paced Kazinga Channel cruise, home to over 600 recorded species
  • The Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary walk near Kibale
  • Forest birding in Bwindi alongside an optional gorilla trek
  • Specialist birding guides throughout, not generalist safari guides
