Albertine Rift Endemics Birding Safari - 12 Days
OVERVIEW
This trip is one of the most interesting for our kin birding clients as most of the locations are ecological hot-spots and relatively within the wealthy Albertine Rift Valley which is not only Uganda but Africa’s richest zone for most endemic and globally threatened species of birds and other animals like the mountain gorillas.
Not only this but a host to more than 7,500 species of endemic plants and animals and approximately 35% of all biodiversity in Africa.
The tour takes us to Mgahinga, Bwindi and most especially Ruhija (the No.1 birding site in Africa), Rwenzori and finally Semliki. These are so far the best birding spots in Uganda and have different ecosystems and each attracting a species different from the other.
