Birding

Birding opportunities are greatest in montane forests. Understandably, few species choose to make their home in the uninviting world of the high Rwenzori. Sunbirds Robins and Bee-eaters are some of the 117 species found in the Rwenzori mountains national park. Other key species include the Rwenzori Turaco and the Long-eared Owl while higher up on the slopes, Bearded vultures, swifts, and Black Eagles might be seen circling for prey.
