KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA (http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Uganda is an exceptional option when it comes to African bird safari destinations because of its best birding spots.

The country prides itself on a wide variety of bird species and aquariums, unlike any other place in Africa. The country’s richness truly reflects the ever-growing bird list of more than 1,010 species.

From the deeply forested tropical central region to the western highlands, Uganda is home to many bird species in Africa. Most national parks in Uganda have a variety of birds that are sure to attract bird lovers.

Most of the Ugandan bird safaris are made by tailors, and the paths to these destinations are guided tours by experienced and professional bird guides. In Uganda, it is best to breed birds in the morning and afternoon.

Lake Mburo National Park is a very special place with a wide range of birds in every part. The best bird habitat in the park is the extensive wetland, which culminated in Mburo Lake.

  1. Semuliki National Park

Semuliki National Park in Uganda is located at the northern foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains in a remote corner of southwestern Uganda. The Semuliki is known to be highly desirable, including the Congo Serpent Eagle, the Black-throated Goggle, the Gray-Throat Rail, and the Yellow-throated Knitter. Because birds are easy to spot.

Murchison Falls National Park is located in northwestern Uganda, which spreads locally from the shores of Lake Albert. It is Uganda’s largest national park and protects many species of rare bird species.

The park is named after the dramatic Murchison falls, which is a 7 m break from the River Nile to a 47 m range.
