Birder's Feedback

Verified Birding and Wildlife in Eastern Uganda Davis was an excellent guide and driver. His birding experience is why we chose his tour and we never would have seen so many of the endemic birds without his keen experience. Besides that, he is a truly funny and amiable guy!Verified Amazing trip My 14 yr old son and I had an unforgettable trip with Davis and Wide Birding Eco Tours. We went for about 15 days. I could write a ton of great things but I will focus on more brief bullet points that I think apply to birders like me trying to decide on the right guide.* Davis did a great job looking out for us, making us comfortable, making sure we got what we wanted out of the experience. English is taught in Ugandan schools so he obviously spoke great English, and we really didn't have any issues communicating throughout the trip. I wasn't expecting that.* He is very knowledgeable of locations throughout Rwanda and Uganda. Plus, you could tell he had strong local relationships every where we went which I could tell helped improve the experience. He also brought in very knowledgeable local guides at key times which made the experience even better.* Davis himself is an excellent, expert birder, both by sight and sound. He has been birding since his youth. Plus he's not only good at it but clearly loved it, and surrounded us with other guides who loved birding as well.* He chose very comfortable lodges with good food. * Birding was our priority but we wanted to keep on the lookout for other animals and he did a great job incorporating that. We saw the Big 5 and plenty more. He knew his mammals really well too.It was an amazing trip and we are very grateful for Davis and Wide Birding Eco Tours!Verified Superb 2-week birding safari in western Uganda I traveled with Davis in western Uganda in January 2024 on a one-on-one journey. I had a fantastic time that exceeded my expectations. Davis is an extremely knowledgeable bird guide. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and feeds off the enthusiasm of those he’s traveling with. He knows all the logistics for putting on a comfortable trip that is also as ambitious as I wanted it to be. He built a great itinerary with flexibility built in to adapt to changing weather and my interests. I look forward to another trip with my friend Davis. He knows how to make things happen for birders visiting Uganda and neighboring countries, at great value, and does it all with Ugandan warmth and style.Verified Birding tour in Uganda Davis is very familiar with birding and the area where he operates. I traveled with him already two times. I’ve had thoroughly organized, completely trouble free trips with a highly knowledgeable and personable guide, I would highly recommend him for your trip to Uganda. Mietek KuzmaVerified Excellent second tour with Davis another excellent second tour with Davis In September 2024 we travelled to Uganda for the third time. After we had an excellent guide with Davis Kibuga in 2023, he was again the first guide this year. Wahl. We were welcomed back at the airport in Entebbe friendly. As we arrived late we were taken to a lodge near the airport. His vehicle was back in exelent condition, it now had a cooler for the drinks and a professional charging station to charge batteries. Davis had brought us an excellent sighting luck. This time we had come very close to the chimpanzees in Kibale NP. We were also very lucky with the "golden Monkeys". Further we discovered the tree climbing lions on a tree in the Ishasha sector. Completely new to animals were the chameleons near the Bwindi NP. All our sighting dreams have come true. Davis is very flexible, he tries to fulfill all wishes. The accommodations were again on a very high Nivau and their food was delicious. We had a very eventful 12 days with him in Uganda. We felt very safe at all times. He is also an exelent driver. We highly recommend Davis Kibuga for your trip to Uganda or Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. His English language and knowledge of nature and wildlife is outstanding.In September 2024 we traveled to Uganda for the third time.

Our guide for the whole trip was Davis who was absolutely outstanding. We missed our first day due to a plane problem in London but Davis rescheduled the trip at short notice to suit our best needs. The quality of our experience as far as finding as many different bird species in our 6 days was unbeatable and we also fitted in a Mountain Gorilla trek too. Davis is a faultless guide with incredible skills and I would totally recommend him to my friends. Top class.Verified Great wildlife watching around Uganda Davis was an absolutely brilliant guide. We were travelling during covid in 2021. There were few tourists about. Davis organised the whole itinerary, route and accommodation. All perfect. In addition to travel around the country for some work, we did loads of birding and wildlife watching. Davis guided this with great skill and professionalism. We saw close to 500 species of birds as well as amazing mammal life including of course chimpanzees and gorillas.Verified Very good, very knowledgeable, well organised I recently finished a 16 day private tour birding in Uganda with Wide Birding Eco Tours with guide Alex Gabiito. Alex has been a bird guide for 15 years and knew where to find all the birds. I saw 416 bird species in total as well as other fascinating wild life including gorillas and Tree Lions. Seeing Murchison Falls was also a non-birding highlight for me. The trip was well organised, with local site guides included in many locations together with boat trips. I was paying for the more basic accommodation but it seemed more like mid range standard to me and I had no complaints with it. The food was better than I had anticipated. Uganda is a beautiful country, has abundant wildlife and lacks the tourist crowds of other countries like Kenya, Botswana and South Africa. This leads to a more personal experience. Also, due to it's presence on a a plateau, the climate of the country is very pleasant and comfortable unlike other 'hot' climate countriesVerified Saved in Uganda! Watch the movie on Youtube! I cannot post it here, but we've made a very nice video where you can see how a tour like this can be. Just search for my name on YouTube, and the Uganda video.We've had 2½ weeks of wildlife/birding with Davis as our guide.Unfortunately, before we've even met Davis, we've gotten very sick and wanted him to wait till we were better, because, that's what you do in our country.In Africa it gets serious very fast, so Davis had to be very persistent that we should let him come over and take us to a hospital in Kampala.What a start of an adventure! 4 days in the hospital, and we were good(enough) to go!We've visited several national parks, and saw many many animals. Davis was funny to have around and he know so much!It was a great time, except for the sicknesses of course, but thanks to Davis we were safe!Verified Quality birding tour with knowledgeable and passionate professional birding and wildlife guides My husband and I just finished a 15-day private birding tour in Kenya (Western Circuit) with Wide Birding Eco Tour. We had the pleasure of being guided by 2 marvelous bird guides, Davis Kibuga and James Apolloh Omenya. We birded in 8 National Parks/Reserves throughout southwestern Kenya and logged almost 400 bird species in addition to many mammals and reptiles. Our guides not only knew the birds, they also knew the mammals and plants. Apolloh, in particular, not only knew every bird along our routes by name, he also knew all the bird calls and where to find them. Many times we would stop at specific locations, sometimes along a highway, to call for a specific species and the bird would come. It was uncanny! To see our guides consult books and discuss about birds was fascinating. Their passion for birding was apparent and truly contagious. Our trip was well organized from beginning to end. (Even before the trip, Davis was prompt in answering any question/concern we had so we felt very safe traveling with him.) Though the travel times between the National Parks/Reserves were long and the roads at times bumpy, we were not bored as we stopped along the way to log more species. At some birding sites, we were joined by a local birding guide who showed us the specialties at that site. We felt extra special as there were 3 guides for the two of us. Considered the superb guiding and mostly mid-range accommodations and food, we believe this budget-friendly tour was of very good value. We were impressed not only by their knowledge and enthusiasm about birds and other wildlife but by the way our guides carried themselves. In addition to his work as a birding and wildlife guide, Davis also supports the children in the communities along the routes he travels as well as in his own community in Uganda. As his guests, we were given the opportunity to bring along used clothes and toys which we would distribute to children along our routes. Davis also uses these opportunities to educate the children about the importance of birds and conservation at these stops. In addition to the birds of Kenya, we have learned a great deal from our guides about the culture and life in East Africa. Thank you, Davis and Apolloh, for a well-planned and rewarding trip. We look forward to returning one day to bird in Uganda and Eastern Kenya with you again.
