The highlights of our 2007 trip were seeing Green-breasted Pitta and African Green Broadbill on the nest. Other great birds were Ituri Batis, Brown-rumped Bunting, Willcock's Honeyguide, Afep Pigeon, Oberlander's Ground Thrush and Marsh Tchagra. We also saw 13 species of primate as well as Leopard and Lion.
I am planning a similar trip next July but with 4 days at Semliki and a few days in Rwanda. Please contact me if you would like to join me.
