What a lot of people do not know is that Uganda is the birding paradise of Africa. According to birders all over the world, the bird watching here is phenomenal with around 225 species sighted in the area. The difficulty is getting close enough to the birds to observe them. This hindrance changes with a boat. Birds do not feel threatened by a boat, so you can get close to them. Our boat is specially suited for bird watchers. It sails between the Jinja dam and Bujagali dam, along tree-lined river banks, into beautiful coves and inlets, and between picturesque islands. The boat is operated by Dutch owner Wim who has lived at Bujagali since 2004. He is a knowledgeable expert on the great variety of bird species to be found here, their habits and habitats. All photos above were taken during our boat trips. Even if birds are not your passion, this trip is a must – the Nile is the longest and one of the most famous rivers in the world, and a cruise to experience this natural wonder is a must.
Cost is $120 minimum for one to eight people for 1 and a half hours.
