Despite its size (which is about 250km east-west by 150km north-south); it has a bird list of over 650 species, and supports a higher number of Albertine Rift endemics than any other country outside the DR Congo.The country has excellent roads, clean and good-value accommodation, and is peaceful and calm.

Bird watching activities are organized for
