    Day 9) Transfer to Entebbe On our next day, we would leave Uganda and the drive back to Entebbe held a lot of the more common species we encountered during our stay in this beautiful country. We could still add 2 more species with African Wooly-necked Stork and Black-crowned Chagra en route. We...

    Day 8) Kibale Today was Chimpanzee Tracking. And while it was also nice to see and experience the chimps it does not have the same vibe as the gorillas. Chimps are loud and chaotic. They live in large groups and are not really paying attention to us “visitors” in their forests. The walk to the...

    Day 7) To Kibale We had some time in the morning to bird around our accommodation. Which was a very productive spot. An African Hoopoe was feeding on the ground, while a White-headed Barbet sat in a tree overhead. Bagaflecht Weaver were breeding around the pool and 2 Crimson-rumped Waxbill...

    Day 4) Gorilla Trecking and Birding afternoon We started early, arriving around dawn at the start of the gorilla trekking. We saw some birds here including Black-tailed Oriole and a flying Mountain Buzzard. This was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life. The whole process...

    Day 3) Lake Mburo Safari and transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable NP The morning started very well with a calling African Scops Owl and a Hunting Square-tailed nightjar before dawn at the camp. Inside the park the mammals encountered today were similar to yesterday’s experience. But a couple of...

    Uganda July 2018

    Day 2) Transfer to Lake Mburo and Boat ride In such a short itinerary everything is a bit rushed and sadly you spend a lot of time in transfers. Each of these spots deserves more time than we could have spend in the areas and it always felt that we only scratched the surface of the area. In...

    Uganda July 2018

    Inspired by the Kenya trip report by lgonz here in the forum, I decided to check my notes and checklists and do a little write down of an Uganda trip I did together with my father in 2018. As it has been some time, some of my memory might not be 100% accurate anymore. But maybe still interesting...
