Shoebill filming locations in Uganda – Birding tours – Uganda bird watching safaris.

With about 1046 bird species identified, Uganda is still among the top birdwatching locations in Africa. One of the uncommon birds seen in Africa, the shoebill has drawn film crews and businesses here in Uganda.

Leading film crew fixing firm Katland safaris will be discussed in today’s post along with Shoebill shooting sites in Uganda so that all those interested in filming the shoebill have somewhere to start.

Ideal settings for shoebill shooting in Uganda

The ideal filming sites in Uganda for those seeking rapid results are Uganda Wildlife Education center and surroundings of Entebbe include Makanaga and Mabamba swamp. One may see the shoebill in a close-to natural surroundings at Uganda Wildlife Education Center. Like at the zoo, the workers there can arrange it up, and your shorts appear like they belong.

Those who would like to shoot the shoebill in its natural environment and who do not like driving could therefore choose Mabamba and Makanaga wetland as the second best shoebill filming site in Uganda. One hour’s drive from Entebbe town, the Mabamba wetland is accessible by boat on lake Victoria or by car.

Little boats or canoes available at Mabamba will enable you to navigate till you reach the shoebill. This also holds true for Makanaga, where one must travel along Entebbe Masaka route at least two hours.

Other shoebill filming sites in Uganda are supervised and monitored by Uganda Wildlife Authority including Murchison Falls National Park and Lake Mburo National Park. Along with marshes of Lake Mburo National Park, the delta area of Murchison Falls National Park has many shoebills. One will require UWA shooting licenses which Katland safaris may assist with in order to film in any national park.

Logistically, Katland safaris organizes Media Accreditation, kit clearance, filming licenses, transportation, lodging, other services required to shoot in Uganda. See Katland safaris for more details on shoebill sites in Uganda. Hesitate not to call.

Big Birding Day Uganda expo postponed to November 2016

Big Birding Day Uganda expo postponed to November 2016 – Uganda bird watching tours and safaris.

The president of Uganda Tourism Association has disclosed that the major birding day Uganda expo has been postponed to November 2016. This has been confirmed during his closing remarks during the monthly tourism forum, which gathers all tourism players from the government, business sector, and international community. Attended by government and private tourism big hitters, this month’s tourism summit was hosted at Hotel African under sponsorship by Uganda Tourism Board and Uganda Hotels association.

While appreciating everyone who came for this tourist conference. While this large birding Uganda expo had been promoted both domestically and internationally, Mr Herbert Byaruhange, chairman of Uganda Safari Guides Association, observed that the visit of the pope to Uganda in the same month would have a significant impact on its success.

The organizers have instead postponed this until November, where he sees that there would be even greater organization than expected, therefore avoiding all this. He told government stakeholders, tour companies, and all attendees that this expo would be unique among the over 50 foreign travel writers invited; local and international tour operators will display to highlight Uganda’s offerings in terms of birds.

Encouraging all stakeholders and investors in Uganda’s tourism sector that Uganda was the finest tourist destination in the entire globe and that now was the moment to have coordinated efforts to improve the sector for the benefit of all us, he concluded his keynote address.

Many members had voiced dismay on how government is handling prayers in the tourist sector and how it has to step up earlier on in the discussion, but the president had some words of hope on the road ahead.

Day of big birdwatching Certainly one of the highlights of the year tainted by Electro advertising will be Uganda exhibition postponed until November 2016.
