Bird Watching

Queen Elizabeth National Park has the largest checklist in East Africa with more than 600 bird species recorded. This is mostly due to the wide variety of habitats: from savannah to forest to wetland. Many of the birds in the park are regarded as specials within East Africa, which make it a prime birding destination. The birdlife in Queen Elizabeth National Park is good year-round, but at its best from late May to September, when the rain is less and food is abundant.
