Mammals from Uganda and Kenya
July 2000
This page lists all the mammals I saw on my July 2000 trip to Uganda and Kenya other than an unidentified few rodents and bats. (OK, I'm not counting people either.) Most of these were identified by Gabriel Ochieng, our guide in Uganda, and Albanus Ndiku, our guide in Kenya.
This is The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals by Jonathan Kingdon (Academic Press, 1997). Highly recommended for all African adventures. The taxonomy, all of the scientific names, and most of the common names used here are a la Kingdon.
