Uganda
Everything has been planned and organized and now it's time to enjoy and start your journey with us. Welcome to Uganda! After introducing you to your guide and answering your questions, we'll take you out to show you all that this amazing country has to offer.
Entebbe is the main air gateway to Uganda. It stands on the lush northern shore of Lake Victoria – the world's second-largest freshwater body – only an hour’s drive south of the capital Kampala. It's a very relaxed and low-rise city, offering a good choice of lakeshore restaurants, abundant greenery, and some of the best urban bird watching anywhere in Africa.
Accompanied by a local guide and pilot, we take a boat into Mabamba Swamp, on the northern verge of Lake Victoria. This is a rewarding birding destination, with 300-plus species recorded, from bulky pelicans and herons to colorful bee-eaters and kingfishers. It’s also a good place to look for papyrus specialists, including the shoebill.
Viewed as you approach the park boundary, the forested mountainsides of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park stand in magnificent contrast to the surrounding cultivated hills. Once inside the park, expect a sensory overload of sounds, smells and sights you could only experience in a pristine African jungle. Even without any wildlife, Bwindi would be an amazing place to visit, but the presence of a diverse forest fauna – most notably the endangered mountain gorilla but also 10 other primate and 350 bird species – has made this Unesco World Heritage Site one of Africa's undisputed top destinations.
Buffalo, elephant and various antelope are likely to be seen in the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, but the focal point of our visit will be locations favored by its legendary tree-climbing lions.
