Travel west towards Kibale with appropriate birding stops.

Settle into the forest region.

Dedicate the morning to forest birding.

Depending on interests, the day can combine forest-edge habitats, wetlands and other suitable birding locations around the Kibale ecosystem.

Chimpanzee trekking can also be added.

Day 5 – Kibale to Queen Elizabeth National Park

Bird through changing habitats as forest gives way to Rift Valley landscapes and savannah.

It gives you access to concentrations of water-associated birds along the channel while mammals add another dimension.
