Professional, everything was well organized
Deo our guide was perfect, know everything about birds, very good driver.
Professional, knowledgeable and friendly guide who tailored and organised a perfect tour
I have just returned to Nairobi after a 14-day birding tour of south east Kenya with Davis Kibuga of Wide Birding Eco Tours. It was my first ever birding tour, and covered the national parks of Amboseli, Tsavo west and east, the Taita and Shimba hills and coastal forests and estuaries around Watamu. It was hardcore birding, pre-dawn to sunset, catching a total of 311 bird species, but we also saw plenty of other African animals including five cats - lions, leopard, cheetah, caracal and serval. Often we had additional expert guides for specific regions, the highlights being John in the east and William at Arabuko Sokoke Forest, who located a cute pair of endangered Scops Owls. All of these guides, and Davis in particular, could identify birds from 100 metres away, direct you to them, and if the birds complied, gave you ample time to photograph them. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend Davis and his friendly and professional team for a wildlife tour of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania or Rwanda. Certainly, if you are interested in the beautiful birds of east Africa, you should give Davis the opportunity to design the perfect tour

Birding in Uganda
The July birdwatching trip to Uganda exceeded my expectations, both in the number of birds and the diversity of species we observed. Kibuga Davis delivered the planned itinerary and also added several extra birding hotspots along the way, giving us the chance to see species that were not originally expected.
When our plans had to change because the target birds were not found in Semuliki National Park, Kibuga quickly adapted the itinerary. Thanks to his flexibility, we were able to visit both Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo National Park, making excellent use of the extra time.
Forest birding is never easy, but Kibuga's outstanding knowledge, experience, and local network made the trip highly successful. The birds we saw were a direct result of his expertise and dedication.
I highly recommend Kibuga Davis as a birding guide and tour organizer. He is professional, resourceful, and truly committed to helping his clients achieve their birding goals. I would happily join another trip with him.

Davis and Wide Birding are experienced, friendly, and a great operator for birding in Uganda.
Davis was very responsive and helpful helping us to design our itinerary. We went through a few drafts before we made one that fit our interests and time.
Davis is a wonderful wildlife guide. He is friendly, intelligent and of course an excellent birder. We saw well over 400 species over 14 days, not to mention the primates and mammals we saw too. Throughout every stop on our trip, Davis was organized and well connected with local guides and lodges. We had such a wonderful time in Uganda and would highly recommend Davis and Wide Birding for any tour! Very safe and great value as well.

Experienced and knowledgeable guide, fun to travel with him
Outstanding birding and Primates experience in Uganda
The organization of the entire trip was excellent, and Davis was a fantastic guide from start to finish. He is a very experienced and highly competent birder with an impressive knowledge of Uganda’s best birding locations. He knows exactly where to find the different species and is highly motivated, committed, and always eager to make the most of every birding opportunity.
A particular highlight was the excellent integration of the gorilla and chimpanzee experiences into the birding itinerary. Everything was very well coordinated and fitted perfectly into the overall trip, making it a wonderfully balanced combination of birding and wildlife experiences.
On top of his professional skills, Davis is a very friendly, cheerful, and easy-going person. Traveling and birding with him was great fun, and his enthusiasm made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate birding guide in Uganda – and for a perfectly organized combination of birding, gorillas and chimpanzees!
