Mabamba Swamp BirdWatching Tours
Our 16-Day Great Loop Uganda Safari begins as we pick you up at your hotel in Entebbe or Kampala and head for the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, a 4-hour drive from Entebbe.
Our first stop is Mabamba Swamp which is the best spot for Shoebill Stork and other water-bird swamp specialist sightings in Uganda. Mambamba Swamp is located along Lake Victoria and is a RAMSAR site.
A fishing boat with an expert birding guide will take you into the swamp along narrow channels to spot the Shoebill Stork.
The Shoebill Stork – Africa’s most sought-after bird can be spotted in the early mornings as he stands still in the swamp looking for lungfish and other prey, his beak swooping down and devouring the fish. You often get close and can get some great photos of the Shoebill Storks. We’re usually done by 10:30 am – 11 am. Continue to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in a 4-hour drive arriving at 3:30 pm. Check into Ziwa Rhinos Guesthouse, with permanent tented cottages.
