:: December 5 (Day 13) ::
We birded the morning around Chimpanzee Forest Guest House, then stopped to bird Sebitori, before making the lengthy drive to Misindi to spend the night at the Misindi Hotel, home of the Hemingway Bar.
:: December 6 (Day 14) ::
We birded the open areas around Misindi, getting our main targets like Cabanis's Bunting and Compact Weaver, before heading to Budongo Forest to bird the famous Royal Mile. The Royal Mile was very productive with the likes of Superb Sunbird, Blue-throated Roller, Chocolate-backed Kingfisher, and Ituri Batis.
:: December 7 (Day 15) ::
We birded the morning around Misindi again, then birded our way to the Butiaba Escarpment for a different biome again and a lot of new birds. We eventually made our way to Paraa Safari Lodge at Murchison Falls National Park, right along the Nile.
:: December 8 (Day 16) ::
We did a game drive in the morning along the Queens Track of Murchison Falls National Park, working our way along the north bank of the Nile. The afternoon was spent on a boat to the bottom of Murchison Falls which was very productive. We had a long day today, doing a night drive back thru some of the same areas we birded in the morning. One of the highlights of the trip was late in the day when we finally had some good looks at a couple of curious Lion cubs. The nocturnal trip was very productive as well, highlighted by a LARGE Puff Adder crossing the road in front of us.
:: December 9 (Day 17) ::
A little birding in the morning, going to the top of Murchison Falls this time, then a couple of stops later as we drove back to Entebbe to bid our guide farewell and prepare for the long flight home which was a late departure.
