In July I had two weeks in Western Uganda with my non-birding spouse and mother-in-law (one has to compromise if you are going to be allowed these trips). My main aim was to see Chimpanzees and Gorillas which was achieved beyond my wildest dreams but we also saw over 350 birds (including shoe-bill twice) which was great considering it was “..not a birding trip” and there were a few days where no new birds were seen at all as we dealt with non-birding matters and interests. A fantastic country, with lovely people and incredible scenery. Very safe, secure, cheap and in all respects to be recommended if you have these sorts of interests. Just do not mention Ebola.
Our travels took us to places including Murchison Falls, Victorian Nile, Albert Nile, Kibale (for chimps), Similiki Forest, Lake Albert, Lake Edward, Lake George, Lake Victoria, Kazingi Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Inpenetratable Forest, Buhoma, Ruwiza (for Gorillas), Lake Mburo and Mabamba.
Anyone with plans or thoughts to go to Uganda and who would like to contact me please feel free to do so if I can be any assistance.
regards
Ben
