"Where to Watch Birds in Uganda" by Jonathan Roussouw and Marco Sacchi definitely recommended. I used "Birds of Africa South of the Sahara" by Ian Sinclair and Peter Ryan--more than you need for Uganda, but helps put things into context. Malarone, DEET, sunblock, lightweight clothes, good walking boots, hat, and a torch should do it...! Cheers, Jon.
