A Birder’s Utopia

Bwindi Impenetrable is one of the richest forests in East Africa in terms of its trees, butterflies and birds. As a birdwatcher’s haven, it holds 350 species of birds.

Ruhija in particular has excellent birding in spectacular surroundings and birders must look out for the striking Handsome Francolin, Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater, Western Green Tinkerbird, Mountain and Yellow-streaked Greenbuls, Mountain Masked and Chestnut-throated Apalises, Red-faced Woodland Warbler, Rwenzori Batis and the White-tailed Crested Flycatcher.
