Uganda is possibly the major eye-catching country on the African Continent for bird watchers. This is because of the unusual numbers of bird species recorded within its various spots and also the fact that the country offers an easy entrance to several natural habitats rich in birds that are not easy to reach somewhere else. Uganda’s significant avian diversity, 1,008 species recorded in an area similar to that of Great Britain can be accredited to its location at an intermediary point between the East African savanna, the West African rainforest and the semi-desert of the north. The key to Uganda’s bird variety is its multiple habitats that are arid semi-dessert, rich savannahs, lowland and montane rainforests, vast wetlands, volcanoes and an Afro-alpine zone. Uganda covers an altitude from 650 to 5000m.Sound like your kind of place?
