Bird Watching

Bird Watching: Trekking with mountain gorillas is typically preferred by many bird watchers. Many tourists come to the park every day in order to interact with different primates, including elephants, chimpanzees, monkeys, and many more. However, some of them travel there especially to see birds.

There are over 350 kinds of birds known to exist in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, including 23 endemics. Other birds include the Common Bulbul, African Emerald Cuckoo, African Blue and White-tailed Blue Flycatchers, Red-headed Bluebill, Short-tailed Warbler, and Blue-headed Sunbird. The main birding paths in Bwindi are the Mubwindi swamp trail in Ruhija and the Buhoma waterfall trail.

Birdwatching packages in Uganda

Ten of the twenty bird species included in the bird watching packages are among the six globally vulnerable species found in Uganda. African Green Broadbills, Chapin fly catcher, and many other species are among the approximately 26 Albertine Endemic bird species.

Other birds in the Congo forest are often found in the northern regions, where 68 of the 90 bird species are found in the Afro Tropical highland biome. Given enough time, it is easy to observe roughly 100 different species of birds in a single day.

One of the places in Bwindi where one may go bird watching is Ruhija; those who are interested in doing so might want to travel to Uganda. There are numerous bird species, such as the Francolin, the white-tailed crested flycatcher, the cinnamon-chested bee-eater, the Rwenzori batis, the western green Tinker bird, the red-faced woodland warbler, the mountain plus yellow-streaked green buls, and the mountain marked plus chestnut-throated Apalises, among many others. The birds are very easy to spot because their feeding flocks are always active throughout the seasons.

Rwenzori Nightjar, Black Bee Eater, African Wood Owl, Bar-tailed Trogon, Dwarf Honey Guide, Grey Cuckoo-shrike, Fine-banded Woodpecker, Western Green Tinkerbird, African Green Broadbill, White-bellied Robin chat, Yellow-streaked Greenbul, Archer’s Robin chat, Shelly’s Greenbul, and Red-throated Alethe are some of the other bird species.
