½-Day Shoebill Quest

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

We will pick you up from your hotel in Entebbe at 06:30hrs, drive to Nakiwogo landing site where we will take a motorized boat to the wetlands. The boat transfer takes about 35 minutes on the lake. When you get into the wetlands, change onto the small boat which is convenient for maneuvering into the wetlands. After the shoebill has been sighted, we will approach the location with caution, maintain minimum silence as we observe the shoebill hunt.

shoebill primarily feeds on fish and other aquatic animals. One of the most impressive traits of the shoebill is it hunting technique where it can stay motionless for hours, when it has locked onto prey, it uses its massive shoe like bill to stealthily strike at prey with its sharp curved bill, help it to grip and hold onto its prey before its swallowed as whole in just a matter of seconds. Later we transfer back to the lodge.
