I loved my 28 day Birding and Wildlife Safari Uganda trip with Terrain Safaris.  It was the perfect combination of bird watching and wildlife viewing. Every day brought a new adventure filled with unforgettable memories.
Paul KK is a great birding guide and wildlife spotter.  Over the course of the trip, I took over 19,000 photos, some of which I will add to this review when the photos are ready. He has an excellent ear for bird sounds and was very knowledgeable of the birds in any particular area.
We saw almost 500 birds of which 347 were life birds for me. Of course, I was also thrilled to see wildlife such as leopards, lions, zebras, etc, but also wildlife that was totally new for me, such as a Blue Monkey and Red-tailed Monkeys, among others.
Our trip was well paced with more strenuous days ( for example, Gorilla trekking) alternating with more relaxed days (birding locally by vehicle). There were some days when we were changing locations/environments and that meant a lot of driving, but we always stopped for interesting birds and enjoyed the local scenery on the way.
We stayed in a variety of lodging, all well located for our birding and wildlife adventures.  At one of the lodges, we could watch and hear the hippos and sometimes, the elephants, in the body of water that was down the hill from where our room was located. At another lodge I could sit on my porch and watch the birds flit around the trees at sunset.
I hope to return to Uganda to look for more birds and wildlife and I would definitely book again with Paul and Terrain Safaris.

My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful 28-day combined birding and wildlife safari in Uganda led by our very talented tour guide,  Paul, who is the owner of Terrain Safaris.  If you are someone who loves nature, seeing wild life amidst  breathtaking scenery, having unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experiences like gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, then this is the dream trip you need to take.

And if you have an interest in birding, as we do, then  prepare to be more spoiled by the variety and number of species of birds that you will have the opportunity to see.  There are about 1,000 different species of bird that can be seen in Uganda, and in our 4 weeks, we were able to see almost 500 different species.

Every aspect of our trip was well planned.  The lodges where we stayed ranged from clean basic accommodations to relatively plush lodges located in very scenic settings, based on what was available in the locations where we were touring.

We traveled in a Toyota Land Cruiser competently driven by our guide Paul. As is common in many African countries, many of the roads were  unpaved dirt roads, so we were treated  to the well-known "African Massage" that these dirt roads provided.

Paul is a talented knowledgeable guide in all respects.  He is a calm, interesting, and very likeable person with a good sense of humor.  As a birding guide, he is exceptional, with the ability to recognize almost 1,000 different species of birds by their calls alone, and to then quickly locate them even in densely vegetated habitats.

Perhaps the best compliment that I can give Paul is to say that as great as he is as a birding guide, he is even a greater person.

Obviously, we loved our unforgettable journey to Uganda, and we want to thank Paul and his company for making all of it possible.

Terrain Safaris, and our very experienced guide Paul, provided us with a Trip of a Lifetime! Every detail was planned out with our needs in mind, and the places selected were beyond all expectations. We received VIP treatment everywhere we went for 14 days because of the respect and high esteem held for our guide Paul.
The people, animals, birds and countryside were all magnificent. We hope to return someday and will recommend and use Terrain Safaris. Thank you for your excellent service.

Grâce à Terrain Safaris notre voyage en Ouganda 🇺🇬 a été une expérience exceptionnelle et pleines de découvertes.

Le programme mis en place par Paul correspondait parfaitement à ce que nous recherchions.
Et grâce à notre guide, Moses, nous avons pu découvrir ce magnifique pays qui est d'une richesse exceptionnelle.

Un grand merci à toute l'équipe de Terrain Safaris pour nous avoir permis de visiter leur beau pays.
