This one-day birding adventure takes you to Mabamba Bay Wetland, one of Uganda’s premier birding hotspots, located just west of Entebbe on the shores of Lake Victoria. The swamp is a Ramsar-listed wetland and a crucial habitat for the elusive Shoebill Stork, along with over 260 bird species. This tour is perfect for bird enthusiasts looking to catch a glimpse of this prehistoric-looking bird and other wetland specials in their natural habitat.
The highlight of the morning is the search for the Shoebill Stork, which often stands motionless, patiently waiting to catch fish. Seeing this majestic bird in the wild is a truly unforgettable experience.

Your birding adventure begins early in the morning, around 6:30 AM, when your guide picks you up from your hotel in Entebbe. Enjoy a scenic 1-hour drive through rural villages and lush landscapes before reaching Mabamba Bay.
Upon arrival, you’ll meet your local birding guide and canoe operator, who will take you into the swamp aboard a traditional wooden canoe. The slow-moving canoe allows for a peaceful, up-close experience as you navigate through the narrow channels lined with papyrus reeds, water lilies, and floating vegetation.
