OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:
- Organized by Nature Uganda and supported by the conservation and tourism fraternities, the event has now been transformed into Uganda being named a preferred bird watching destination, an accolade which will undoubtedly raise even more interest from abroad to come here and explore for instance Bwindi Forest, which the Africa Bird Club earlier this year declared the Number One birding site in Africa or in Queen Elizabeth National Park, home to over 600 bird species alone.
- The Big Birding Day is now an annual event, supported by the Uganda Wildlife Authority which grants free access to the park, and this annual bird count a few weeks ago has underscored once again the rich diversity of birds found, not just in parks but across the entire country.
- As 2012 is slowly getting ready to hand over to the next year in line, a new tagline will take over from the hype of this year, as “The Pearl of Africa” turned 50 and when the Lonely Planet Guide had named Uganda as their top destination for the year.
