1-Day Mabamba Swamp Birding Safari for Shoebill

• You'll be collected from the airport.

Your professional driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in Entebbe (or Kampala for an earlier departure) and drive to Mabamba Swamp.

After a short briefing by your local birding guide, board a traditional motorized canoe and begin your unforgettable journey through the papyrus-lined waterways.

Morning Birding Excursion

The highlight of the morning is searching for the magnificent Shoebill Stork, one of Africa's most sought-after birds. Mabamba is recognized as one of the most reliable places in Uganda—and indeed the world—to observe this remarkable species in its natural habitat.

With over 300 bird species recorded, Mabamba is one of Uganda's premier birding destinations.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Lake Victoria region while reflecting on your morning's incredible sightings.

Afternoon Nature Experience
