| Birding Tour to Uganda |  Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is regarded as Uganda's prime birding area. At Buhoma lowlands, pitta-like Short-tailed Warblers and Kivu Ground Thrushes skulking in the mossy undergrowth will prove distracting while tracking Mountain Gorillas. Groups of Chimpanzees shriek from deep in the forest and African Grey Parrots fly overhead.
Uganda is rather friendly and safe country to visit in Africa.
Big trees in the Botanical Gardens draw a number of spectacular species, which may include Black-and-white Casqued Hornbill, Splendid Starling and African Pied Hornbill. You may also encounter Shikra, African Hobby, Red-headed Lovebird, Broad-billed Roller, Green Crombec, Double-toothed Barbet, Western Grey Plantain-eater, Ross's Turaco, Palmnut Vulture and Black-and-white Flycatcher.
The surrounding swamps are home to Swamp Flycatcher and Slender-billed Weaver.
