KIBALE FOREST NATIONAL PARK
Safaris, Tours and attractions

 

 Bird Watching
Kibale Forest National Park has more than 335 bird species recorded. A network of forest trails from the Kanyanchu Visitor Centre allows you to search for a number of species from the vicinity of the main road such as nahan’s francolin, african pitas.

There is a large block of rain forest that offers some excellent forest birding. The best forest birding is along the main road from the Kanyanchu centre. Species such as scaly francolin, marsh tchagara, the scarce grey-headed olive-back and a host of seed eaters such as fawn breasted black crowned wax-bills and green-backed twin spot, among others, can easily be spotted.

While in the forest watch out for flocks of the rare and localized white-naped pigeon in flight over head or sunning themselves on the tree tops in the early morning. Fruiting trees attract birds such as narina trogon, pied hornbill, yellow-spotted, hairy-breasted and yellow-billed barbets.
Kibale is also a good sight for joyful greenbul reasonably common and conspicuous here but inexplicably scarce else where in Uganda.

The secondary forest and thicket around Kanyanchu is also a productive birding area for the african goshawk, the majestic ground eagle and masked apalis. Large, noisy flocks of grey parrots fly over the campsite to their roost in the evening.

There is an observation tower which overlooks a small forest in the park giving you the opportunity to see the red-chested fluff tailed and a host of forest elephants.

The Bigodi wetland sanctuary in Kibale National Park is also an excellent place to see some of the special birds endemic to this habitat such as papyrus gonolek, white-winged warbler and papyrus canary among others.
