 Birding safari will expose you to the bird species which pour out the purest of rare music. So tender and serene is the harmony of nature in the old woods of Serenada Eco Resort that monkeys, both red-tailed and colobus join in the jungle tango dance. This experience will leave you wanting to take more safaris to Uganda.
A low breeze rustles the defiant trees. The old forest springs to life with jungle activities. Unconscious of its audience, a pair of blue turaco birds flies away from the branches of an old ficus tree, bursting into a priceless melody. Uganda is blessed with both forest and water birds which are so interesting to watch while on a birding safari.
Uganda hosts a considerable number of birds, butterflies, reptiles, primates and dragonflies and it was recently declared the preferred bird-watching destination (2013/2014), a development which upholds the country as a birder’s paradise. A network of canals has been constructed in the surrounding wetlands to enable bird viewing in the marshes while travelling by canoe. This composition of birds and wildlife has attracted many safaris in Uganda.
About half of all bird species in Africa can be found in Uganda. The country supports more than 1,000 bird species, representing about 50% of the bird species in Africa and 11% of the global population of birds. Records from Nature Uganda show that Uganda earns over $6m (about sh156b) from birding tourism, doubling earnings from gorilla tracking. Birding is a high-end tourism product where birders stay long, thus leaving more money in the country
