This was a trip customized for five persons with intensions of designing new itineraries and discovering the rare birding route in the eastern part of the country since most bird watchers use the Western circuit that stretch from the central to the South up to the North. This particular trip covered the hot spots in the east; Mountain Elgon National Park (Kapkwai Forest), Sipi Falls, Pian–upe Game Reserve, Matheniko–Bokora Wildlife Reserve and Kidepo Valley National Park. The weather was hot with lots of wind only with the exception of Mountain Elgon(kapkwai Side) which had a cool weather. The tour covered several habitats from forests in mountain Elgon, thickets, bushes, shrubs and flat plains with scenic views of the raised rocky areas that were eye catching with excellent panoramic views that will linger forever and ever….., the tour started and ended in Kampala. We recorded 268 species of birds, 2 seen by only the tour leader, 5 heard and 16 mammal species
