4K | Ultimate African Safari and Gorilla Trek in Uganda
In 2018 I went on a safari trip in Uganda, the landlocked African country at the equator.
The journey started in Entebbe at Lake Vicoria and continued to Queen Elisabeth National Park with the broad Kazinga channel and the tree-dwelling lions. In the rain forest of the Kibale National Park I watched the chimpanzees in the tree tops. The highlight of the journey was the Mountain Gorilla trekking in the heart of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park next to the volcanoes of Virunga.
Further stops were at Lake Bunyonyi (world's fourth deepest lake), Lake Mburo National Park and the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre in Entebbe.
In the video you can see the notorious big five animals (lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant and leopard) in their natural habitat.

Uganda 2002 Part 1
This film was taken on a birding expedition to Uganda in August 2002 and is covered in four parts. After the opening titles we begin the trip near Kampala where the species filmed are papyrus gonolek, white-throated bee-eater, a female sunbird on the nest and a brown-throated wattle-eye. We then head out on a boat in the Mabamba Wetlands, where we see pied kingfisher and the elusive shoebill. Next it's on to Mabira Forest where we have Ross's turaco, black-and-white-casqued hornbill, grey-backed camaroptera, red-tail monkey, olive-bellied sunbird, great blue turaco and rufous flycatcher-thrush. We then move to Budongo Forest and the Royal Mile, where the species filmed are blue-breasted kingfisher, a giant millipede, Puvel's illadopsis, and fleeting glimpses of chimpanzee. Then we have rufous-sided broadbill, fire-crested alethe and yellow-rumped tinkerbird. Next we head to the spectacular Murchison Falls where we see rock pratincole, water buffalo, marabou stork, bushbuck, a bat with long ears, warthog, red-cheeked cordon-bleu, pin-tailed whydah, hippos, African fish-eagle, crocodile, great white egret, more hippos, waterbuck, hartebeest, a young saddle-bill stork with cattle egrets, goliath heron, I think Wahlberg's eagle, pied kingfishers, red-throated bee-eater, water buffalo, adult saddle-bill stork, knob-billed duck, giraffe, elephant, and finally a very, very big crocodile!
