The “Run for Birds” event, featuring a scenic route through Kampala’s landmarks like the Fairway Golf Course, is a celebration of Uganda’s ecological diversity.

Supported by research on birds’ ecosystem services like pest control and seed dispersal, this initiative aligns with the country’s broader conservation efforts managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority across 10 Uganda Wildlife Parks.

From the lush Mabamba Bay Wetland Swamp Tour to the thrilling Shoebill watching tour from Entebbe, visitors can explore habitats teeming with life, including the endangered Shoebill Stork and over 190,000 other birds.
