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.
