HAPPY HATHI TIP
If you’re into birding, Uganda is a dream — with over 1,000 recorded species, it’s one of Africa’s richest birding destinations. While most visitors focus on gorillas in Bwindi, few realize it’s also home to Albertine Rift endemics like the rare African green broadbill. With a good guide, patience, and a pair of binoculars, Uganda quietly offers some of the most spectacular birdwatching anywhere in the world.
