Birding in Uganda and Rwanda
Uganda and Rwanda reward both dedicated birders and travellers who simply enjoy noticing colourful species along the way. Wetlands, savannahs, forests and highlands produce very different bird communities. Specialist birding time can be added to a standard safari, or the entire route can be slowed down around target habitats and photography.
