95 Birds in 1 Day Birding Mount Moroto Karamoja Uganda

The lately trendy Uganda birding destination is our unexplored Karamoja region. Our Kara-Tunga gudie Brian took Mr. Crammy Wanyama of Avian Safaris and his clients for a day of birding around Mount Moroto Central Forest Reserve along the Kenyan border.

During the Birding tour they sighted 95 birds, including the Tiny Cisticola, and the above photo is a Red-fronted Tinkerbird, a woodland dweller of a drier country by Uganda’s standards.

Book your birding tour and learn more about birding in Uganda’s Northeastern Karamoja region,  Uganda’s upcoming birding destination.
