Patricia and I spent three weeks in Uganda in November on a private tour. Birding isn't Patricia's main thing, so we didn't book a birding tour. In fact, the trip was sort of spur of the moment. We decided to go in October and were looking at Shoebills on November 11th. We had a travel agency we had had luck with previously set the whole thing up, with a driver, safari vehicle, and accommodations. It worked. We had a great trip, though some bits were suboptimal, we saw a lot of things. I hope to get a trip report worked out, but in the meantime, I want to recommend a bird guide we had in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest: Robert Byarugaba. He was very good at finding and getting us on the Albertine Rift endemics that are important. We would have had a better list had we worked with him to set up the trip from the outset, but then it would have been more bird-intense than what we wanted. In any case, the time we had with him in Bwindi was great.
