Day 1
Your guide will pick you up early from your hotel in Entebbe or Kampala before transferring to Mabamba Swamp, located on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Upon arrival, board a traditional motorized canoe with an experienced local guide and begin exploring the wetland channels. Mabamba Swamp is internationally recognized as one of the best places to spot the elusive shoebill stork in its natural habitat. Besides the shoebill, you may also encounter African jacanas, malachite kingfishers, papyrus gonoleks, pygmy geese, herons, egrets, cormorants, and many other wetland bird species.
After your birding excursion, return to Entebbe for lunch before continuing to the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC). During your guided visit, you'll learn about Uganda's wildlife conservation programs while observing a variety of rescued animals, reptiles, and birds. The center provides an excellent introduction to Uganda's rich biodiversity and offers fantastic opportunities for wildlife photography.
