As the “Run for Birds” event gears up for October 19, 2025, in Kampala, Uganda, organized by Avian Conservation Uganda, the country is poised to showcase its vibrant blend of sports tourism and unparalleled natural beauty.
This run which costs UGX 25,000 per person, aimed at raising funds for a national bird conservation campaign, highlights Uganda’s status as a global hotspot for birdwatching safaris from Kampala and beyond.
With over 1,070 bird species, including the iconic Shoebill Stork, Uganda offers an irresistible draw for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
A Hub for Adventure and Conservation
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.
