Birdlife in Rwanda

Despite being less than half the size of Scotland, Rwanda boasts around 700 species of birds.

They are everywhere, from your lodge's gardens to the deepest rainforest, but head for the Nyungwe Forest National Park for excellent forest species and 26 Albertine Rift endemics (those birds found only on the western branch of the Rift Valley.

At the Akagera National Park you'll find the East African savannah birds, including a wealth of raptors and the legendary shoebill - the region's 'mega-tick'.
