Nowhere else in Africa do the preconceived ideas of the continent really exist in such living detail; tall, red-robed Maasai herding their skinny cattle, endless grasslands studded with flat-topped Acacia trees and grazed by herds of zebras and wildebeest, and dramatic volcanic calderas brimming with big game and fierce predators!

Central Africa has one of those birds. The Shoebill serves as the symbol of the magnificent wildlife experiences Uganda offers visitors, which may seem a bit odd. This deeply weird bird represents the very tip of the spear of Uganda’s wildlife tourism sector, currently considered the country’s largest and most significant export.

After a very long day of 7 hours of driving, 11 hours flying and then 9 hours more driving, we have arrived at our temporary home here in South Africa. The house is a four bedroom, four bath two story, with a deck running around three sides of the upper story, great for wildlife viewing. The mighty rhino along with the Cattle Egret.

The route Corey and I took in advance of the 2019 African Birding Expo may not be the only optimal way to go, but this approach yielded an absolute bounty of wildlife excitement in just 48 action-packed hours. Murchison Falls NP truly excels as a place to see the kind of wild mammals Africa is legendary for. Rock Pratincoles.

They were still listed as Endangered, but wildlife management measures taken in this park were clearly working.

Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters are something of a speciality, breeding here before flying off to Africa for the winter. Perched on the large irrigation equipment were some of my favourites, including the gorgeous looking Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters, Indian Rollers and diminutive Green Bee-eaters. Lot’s of lapwings at the moment on the site!
