Birds in Uganda

Birds in Uganda : Uganda Birding Tours will take you to a birding paradise, home to over 1073 species of birds, representing 50% of all bird species in Africa and 11% of all species worldwide. With one of Africa’s highest densities of birds per square kilometer, this extensive bird list is contained inside a relatively tiny area of around 90041 square miles (approximately the size of Britain).

The mere sight of numerous birds in a small area or over a brief period of time is a reward for birding in Uganda.

Uganda has a diversified bird population and draws a lot of migrant birds all year round because of the great range of habitats that no other place in Africa can equal.

Apart from the sea, Uganda is unique in that it shares Africa’s major ecological zones, each of which includes associated bird species, many of which have limited geographic ranges.

Africa offers some of the best bird watching vacations in the world. In the African environment, birds are significant. Even on an African wildlife tour, you may expect to see ostriches, flamboyant eagles, and rollers in addition to bee-eaters and other colorful birds. Africa is the best place to go on a regular safari vacation to see a lot of different animals because there are more open grasslands than dense rainforests there. Over 500 different bird species can be found in many of the best African safari locations.

People from all over the world visit Uganda to cross items off their bucket lists related to birdwatching.
