In this episode, we’re back with Part 2 of our deep dive into one of Africa’s most exciting birding destinations, Uganda. In Part 1, we covered some of Uganda’s most iconic species — the Shoebill, Green-breasted Pitta, and Grauer’s Broadbill — and we laid the foundation for why this country is a must-visit for birders from around the world. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, I highly recommend going back and giving it a listen first — it sets the stage for what’s to come. Now in this second part of the series, we take things to the next level. I’m joined once again by expert bird guide Joshua Olszewski, who takes us on a virtual birding trip across eight of Uganda’s top birding locations — from iconic swamps and lush montane forests to savannas and lowland rainforests. We unpack each spot’s unique birding opportunities, travel logistics, photographic potential, and the species you can expect to see there. Whether you’re dreaming of seeing the regal Rwenzori Turaco, the elusive Green-breasted Pitta, or racking up lifers in the Albertine Rift, this episode is packed with practical advice and birding inspiration.
