About
Wide Birding Eco Tours is a Kampala-based birding-only operator run by a partnership of Ugandan local guides with a stated decade-plus of joint field experience. The company is headquartered on Kampala Road in central Kampala and operates a sister brand, Uganda Bird Tours (ugandabirdtours.com), targeting the same client base from the same office.
Flagship Uganda itineraries route through the four marquee birding stops — Mabamba Swamp for Shoebill, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for the Albertine Rift endemic suite (African Green Broadbill, Handsome Francolin, Rwenzori Turaco), Semuliki National Park for Congo-basin specialities (Black-casqued Wattled Hornbill, African Piculet) and Queen Elizabeth National Park for the savanna and wetland species — with regional extensions into Kenya and Rwanda for clients building East African big-year style trips.
The team frames itself as conservation-led local guiding and emphasises maximising target-bird sightings over a fixed catalogue of departures, with most trips run as private custom builds.
