Birding in Pian Upe Reserve, Northeastern Uganda – The birds were simply amazing. Besides many typical East-African savanna species (which are not so easy to find in Uganda but are fairly common in Kenya and Tanzania) we spotted many of the more localised “specials” like…
the pretty Bruce’s Pigeons and the seldom-seen Stone Partridges (which set up their morning duetting about 5 metres from our breakfast table) andmany others. Tony was very pleased with this – Pian-Upe is going to feature prominently in the low-cost birding trips his company – Mamaland Safaris – will be offering, as soon as travel gets a bit easier.

The potential of tourism in Uganda is enormous. The ‘Pearl of Africa’ is famous for its gorilla’s and chimpanzees, but has much more to offer. The active tourist can go hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. The cultural tourist will be amazed by the numerous local traditions, customs, arts & crafts.
The second edition of the Karamoja Tourism Skills Development Coordination Platform (KTSDP) meeting, took place on 18 of February 2021 in Moroto. The purpose of the platform is to strengthen coordination, promotion, and preservation of tourism ecosystem services relevant for job skills creation while ensuring continuous benefits to locals and economies.
