Birding Trip to Uganda - 2nd July to 16th July 2015

Rating

From July 2 to 16, 2015, I joined a birding tour in Uganda led by Muhumuza Deogratius (Deo), an excellent birder and personable guide, alongside Luke, a knowledgeable co-leader and driver.

The trip featured diverse habitats, including Mabamba Bay, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Kibale Forest.

Highlights included a Shoebill sighting, gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, and an impressive list of 350 bird species (274 lifers) and 27 mammal species (17 lifers).

Lodging was generally comfortable, and food ranged from acceptable to good. It generally, was a rewarding adventure in a fascinating region.

Uganda 2 week Birding & Mammal Tour, Jan 2014

Peter Saunders and his group, including Lorraine Saunders, Jonny Price, and Will Price, had an unforgettable birding holiday in Uganda organized by Deo and Robert Nuwagaba.

Deo’s excellent communication and organization ensured a seamless trip, while both guides impressed with their deep knowledge of bird calls, habitats, and remarkable spotting skills.

Over two weeks, the group recorded 470 bird species and encountered extraordinary wildlife, including the Shoebill, Green-breasted Pitta, Finfoot, chimpanzees, and gorillas. The accommodations, food, and stunning views added to the experience.

Peter highly recommends Deo’s services, praising both guides for their expertise, politeness, humor, and care, making this a truly memorable adventure.

We had a most wonderful, individually and expertly guided nature tour in Uganda

A magnificent trip took us to Uganda July 15 to July 29, 2014, expertly guided by Muhumuza Deogratius; Deo for short. We had intended to book our trip through a local Ugandan travel agent and were lucky to find Deo recommended on the www.birdingpal.org website. Deo responded to our inquiries immediately and to our satisfaction. He booked our travel route according to our wishes and the accommodations selected by him were all very pleasant, clean and located in beautiful and safe environments.

Being interested in nature, birds and anything else that flies and walks, Deo was the perfect guide for us. He could spot and name any bird just from hearing its song. He also showed us many mammals in the various diverse national parks of Uganda.

We highly recommend Deo and wish that he will be able to guide many more nature-loving tourists through his beautiful homeland of Uganda, and thereby enhance the mutual understanding of the people in this world.

Fantastic trip for 3 weeks to see 526 species of birds

There were 5 trip members from UK which we organised with Deo through Birding Pal. Deo met us at Lake Victoria View guest house where we were familiarising ourselves with the Hotel garden Birds. A big smile from Deo soon got us on the right footing. From the outset and through the rest of the trip, communication, expert guiding and service lived up to the highest standard of hopeful expectation.

Deo was a true professional as well as being a great companion and friend during our three weeks in Uganda.

He did his utmost best to make sure we saw as many species as possible. I personally got on great with him because of my keen interest in photography and his similar passion in the same subject.

We all enjoyed his sense of humour.

I would not hesitate in recommending both for future trips in Uganda.

Here's to successful future trips

Deo drove us hundreds of miles and with his and Robert's expert bird finding skills we clocked around 480 species and saw all the main mammals as well - including the fantastic Biwindi gorillas. Communications, food and accommodation were all excellent and, overall, I was thoroughly impressed. Would strongly recommend this company.

Kenya Birding trip

November, 2024

My husband and I completed a 15-day private birding tour in Kenya (Western Circuit) in August/September. We had the pleasure of being guided by 2 marvelous bird guides, Davis Kibuga and James Apolloh Omenya. We birded in 8 National Parks/Reserves throughout southwestern Kenya and logged almost 400 bird species in addition to many mammals and reptiles. Our guides not only knew the birds, they also knew the mammals and plants. Apolloh, in particular, not only knew every bird along our routes by name, he also knew all the bird calls and where to find them. Many times we would stop at specific locations, sometimes along a highway, to call for a specific species and the bird would

come. It was uncanny!

In addition to the birds of Kenya, we have learned a great deal from our guides about the culture and life in East Africa. Thank you, Davis and Apolloh, for a well-planned and rewarding trip. We look forward to returning one day to bird in Uganda and Eastern Kenya with you again.

No sound or movement escapes him. If there is a bird somewhere Robert will find it. Both Deo and Robert made sure that we saw as many birds as possible and that we all saw them. We were a group of 6 and came from 3 different continents.

Deo is not only a good organizer but has a wonderfully friendly and cheerful personality. We truly enjoyed chatting with him.

He is a very good listener and always made sure that everyone was comfortable and spared no effort to keep us all happy. We all enjoyed spending time with him.

I want to add that I found the Ugandans welcoming, friendly and so very kind.

This particular trip could be regarded as a once in a lifetime experience!

The communications with regard to the trip were excellent and the service was also of a very high standard and lived up to all expectations. The level of accommodation was also as expected but the food could be improved upon. The actual tour itself was absolutely fantastic with regard to the itinerary, diverse habitats and the time spent looking for birds. The bird knowledge of the two guides was outstanding

The Birdingpal fixed-date tour from January 24 to February 7, 2014, was an unforgettable experience led by the exceptional guides Deo and Robert. Deo, the trip's mastermind, ensured everyone felt at home and catered to the group's diverse interests with good humor and grace, while Robert's unparalleled bird-spotting skills made the tour extraordinary.

The itinerary covered a variety of habitats, from savannas and forests to wetlands, offering sightings of stunning birds like Jameson's Wattle-eye and African Green Broadbill, alongside iconic African wildlife, with optional gorilla and chimpanzee tracking being highlights.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the logistics, including minibus travel on rough roads, were well managed. Uganda Eco Tours delivered a high-quality, budget-friendly trip, leaving participants eager to explore more of the country in the future.
