A professional and dedicated birding guide
This is our first tour to Africa and very lucky to find Davis to be our guide. Once we get contact by email, he always respond quickly in time to answer all our enquares. During the journey he always ask us about the food and our birding arrangement, discuss how to meet our expectation in the following days.
Thanks Davis, we have a happy journey in Uganda and hope to visit there again.

Very nice birding tour guided by Davis in Uganda
We just completed a very successful birding tour with Davis in Uganda. Davis is a top-tier guide with professional expertise and responsibility.
1. Good communication and Reliable was built since beginning. I found Davis from Safaribookings as a stranger. He always responds me very quick for my questions. After I transferred birding tour expenses to him, he responded to me that he well received payment around one day later. His quick response let me trust him that he is a reliable and responsible person.
2. Davis's professional expertise is impressive. He knows the birds's calls , habits and habitats, also he has very good eyes to find birds even birds at very far away place or blocked by branch or bushes. we took many video/photoes for many beautiful birds under his help.
3. For our target birds, he contacted local people to realize birds status in advance before we set out for. because our physical condition, we don't like search birds in forests, he detected this point and communicated with us to adjusted the tour.
In summary, if you want to have birding tour in east Africa, Davis is my first and only choice.

Thank you Davis
Davis planned an excellent, detailed and intricate itinerary to cater for both myself, an avid birdwatcher and two generalist holiday makers (mother and sister). This was no easy task as it required detail and compromise for maximum enjoyment for the whole group. He was brilliant at communicating and accommodating all our very specific and often contrasting needs. I would highly recommend using Davis.
Davis was an amazing guide always adapting on my wishes and preferences, I couldn't expect a better
Wide Birding has been super professional from the preparation (very proactive, quick direct answers, adapted tour and price).
Once there it was a permanent enchantment on the birds watched, the places. Davis has always a bottle of water ready or other attention. He is very outgoing so knows everyone, always get you the best seats on boats, visits... The guide that other travelers envy you.
The lodge were very nice always with something special, a view over the valley, a garden full of birds, the vicinity to a swamp, a service or team, a very good cuisine... that really made you love the place. That's a great value for money.
Davis has so many secrets of where to find the dream bird you want. A special owl, a kingfisher?
I loved my trip to Uganda and I can't wait to set up a new trip to Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania.
Thank you.

A Truly Unforgettable Birdwatching Experience with David in Uganda
I recently had the pleasure of exploring Uganda’s incredible birdlife under the expert guidance of David, and I can honestly say it was one of the best birdwatching experiences I’ve ever had. David is not only exceptionally knowledgeable about Uganda’s diverse bird species, but he is also deeply passionate about sharing this knowledge with his guests.
Throughout the trip, David demonstrated outstanding professionalism and attention to detail. From organizing the daily itineraries to spotting even the most elusive species, he made every moment worthwhile. His sharp eyes and keen ears ensured that we didn’t miss any special sightings, and he was always ready to share fascinating facts and stories about the birds and their habitats.
What I appreciated most was how comfortable and enjoyable David made the entire journey. He was patient, friendly, and always attentive to everyone’s needs and interests. I felt safe, well taken care of, and fully immersed in the beauty of Uganda’s nature.
Thanks to David, I was able to see some of my dream birds and capture unforgettable memories. I highly recommend his guiding services to anyone who wants to experience Uganda’s rich birdlife in the most professional and rewarding way possible.
Thank you, David, for an exceptional adventure — I can’t wait to come ba

10 days Birds and general wildlife photography tour to western Uganda
We are a family group of four adults and from 20th to 30th June 2025 we visited Uganda for birds and wildlife photography. We chose the Wide birding Eco Tours Ltd after checking the reviews on the internet. The itinerary was prepared by Mr. Davis according to our requirements. We visited the Lake Mburo National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable N. Park, Queen’s Elizabeth N. Park Budongo forest and Murchison falls N. Park. With the help of Mr. Davis we have seen and photographed many birds and animals. We took several boat trips in which we had the opportunity to see and take photos of birds and animals such as the shoebill, the African fish eagle, many species of king fishers, bee eaters and various water birds. Furthermore we took photos from a real close distance of elephants, hippos and crocodiles.
Mr Davis is an experienced bird guide. He knows all the birds knows where to find them, and has good connections with other bird guides.
In general we had 10 wonderful days in Uganda full of action travel enjoyment.
Thank you Davis for taking such good care of us

Fantastic birding experience
I just finished a 7 days trips in Uganda with Wide Birding Ecotours. It was a fantastic experience. My two guides Deo and Robert showed me hundreds of species in a short time including Shoebill, most of the Albertine endemics and many other rare birds. Both of them are real experts who know where the birds are, know all the calls and always made sure I had time to see the birds well and take a picture. The accommodations were of good quality and the 4*4 comfortable.
So if you want a successful birding trip in Uganda do not hesitate and contact them !

Eastern Uganda Birding Tour
This tour exceeded our expectations as far as the quality of the birdwatching and expertise of our guide/driver Davis. We checked many endemics off our list with the patient and expert tracking of Davis. we feel we had excellent value for money. we chose basic accommodation which puts you squarely in the parks and reserves. We aren’t overly fussy people so we’re fine with cold showers and no air conditioning but thrilled with en suite bathrooms with a “stool” toilet. My only recommendation would be to pack a rechargeable fan for extra comfort. we had been to Uganda 2 years ago for the “traditional” safari so our focus this time was more on birds, a passion of my husband’s. Davis is a very funny and easy-going guy. We shared our meals with him but also had plenty of down time over the hot noon to 4pm time. We are already considering another trip with him to Kenya to try and see the cheetah and more endemics.

Excellent birder and amazing guide
My 14 yr old son and I had an unforgettable trip with Davis and Wide Birding Eco Tours. We went for about 15 days. I could write a ton of great things but I will focus on more brief bullet points that I think apply to birders like me trying to decide on the right guide.
* Davis did a great job looking out for us, making us comfortable, making sure we got what we wanted out of the experience. English is taught in Ugandan schools so he obviously spoke great English, and we really didn't have any issues communicating throughout the trip with other Uganda d and Rwandans anywhere we went. I wasn't expecting that.
* He is very knowledgeable of locations throughout Rwanda and Uganda. Plus, you could tell he had strong local relationships every where we went which I could tell helped improve the experience. He also brought in very knowledgeable local guides at key times which made the experience even better.
* Davis himself is an excellent, expert birder, both by sight and sound. He has been birding since his youth. Plus he's not only good at it but clearly loved it, and surrounded us with other guides who loved birding as well.
* He chose very comfortable lodges with good food.
* Birding was our priority but we wanted to keep on the lookout for other animals and he did a great job incorporating that. We saw the Big 5 and plenty more. He knew his mammals really well too.
It was an amazing trip and we are very grateful for Davis and Wide Birding Eco Tours!

A fruitful birding trip in Uganda with a highly experienced birding guide
I had the pleasure of going birding with Davis on 22 April and on 26 April 2024. We went to a number of sites in and around Entebbe,, including in Mabamba swamp and at the Entebbe botanical gardens. We had a lot of opportunities to see birds enroute to Mabamba swamp and around Entebbe. It was evident that Davis is very passionate about birds. He is very knowledgeable and was quick to correctly identify the calls and sighting of birds. He is quite experienced and has one of the sharpest eyes I have come across for spotting birds in any environment. He has extensive knowledge of bird calls and can indeed whistle out many calls himself! We managed to get a number of new species for me in the different spots we went to. He was punctual, friendly, flexible, patient and went to great lengths to ensure that we saw the specials in the areas we visited. Davis is also a dependable driver. I will definitely reach out to Davis in the future for a more extensive birding experience across this beautiful country.
