East Africa is home to some of the world’s most unique bird species, several of which are only found locally. Among Africa’s top four birding safari locations are Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, which have the largest number of bird species reported in the continent.
Murchison Falls is Uganda’s oldest and largest national park, named after the mighty waterfall of the same name – formed as the mighty Nile River is forced through a 7-meter gap in the rocks. The park is home to about 450 bird species, and birding can be done on a game drive, via a boat trip (on the Nile), or on a nature walk. Habitat types include forest, swamp, riverine woodland, palm savannah, and acacia-dotted plains. The riverine thickets hold white-crested turaco, double-toothed barbet, red-throated bee-eater, Heuglin’s francolin, brown babbler, silver bird, buff-bellied warbler, black-headed batis, and bar-breasted firefinch.
Puvel’s illadopsis can also found near the chimp researchers’ camp. There is plenty of open palm savannah, which is an excellent haunt for Abyssinian ground-hornbill, Senegal lapwing, Shelley’s rufous sparrow and the strange-looking piapiac. The Nile delta is of course home to the near-mythical shoebill stork. Night drives can produce a plethora of species such as pennant-winged and standard-winged nightjar and greyish eagle-owl.

Learn from their traditional way of life by visiting their villages and exploring their culture. Few people would dare travel to a location that is rumored to be rich in potential due to the presence of oil because it is so far from metropolitan amenities and the verdant fields of our towns.
For those who do, it is typically for a job with several benefits, particularly the so-called hardship allowance; never for a fun vacation or exciting experience. Nevertheless, more and more Kenyans are starting to understand that northern Kenya is a real gem. The scenic and serene oases in the Chalbi Desert have plenty to offer for some worthwhile moments. Along with the fact that the existence of such a cool, vegetated location in such a huge area devoid of anything but sand and aridity is practically a miracle. A real understanding of how ancient civilizations and some contemporary desert people traveled is provided by riding a camel through the desert. It is also quite soothing.
