, you're invited!
Many naturalists claim that Uganda and Rwanda offer experiences that are richer and more diverse than the great wildlife safari destinations of Tanzania, Kenya, and Botswana. Mountain Gorillas are the featured species of these countries, but it's also a heaven for birders, with over 800 species waiting to be found.
Join Paul Tamwenya, lead Uganda and Rwanda guide, on September 21 for a program on the spectacular birds and wildlife of Uganda. He is a trainer for future Ugandan naturalists and guides, has seen all 800 bird species his country offers, and has been a trusted guide for Journeys International for many years. His exceptionally keen vision and years of experience are a definite asset to any wildlife safari.
Bonus Event: Birds of a Feather
Paul also founded a small non-profit, Birds of a Feather, that seeks to connect the greater birding community with budding naturalists in his poverty stricken village of Nangaiza. Paul feels that birding and nature tourism have lifted him out of the poverty he was born into, and he wishes to mentor and instill an ethic of conservation and ecotourism in the youth of his country.
