Your 1 Day perfect Mabamba Swamp Shoebill Uganda Birding safari adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Entebbe or Kampala, followed by a scenic drive to the Mabamba landing site. On arrival, you'll board a motorized canoe for a short trip before switching to a traditional dugout canoe, which allows silent navigation through the dense papyrus. This is prime shoebill habitat, so keep your eyes peeled for a motionless, gray figure hunting for lungfish. As you glide through the channels, your guide will point out other incredible species like the African pygmy goose, malachite kingfisher, and various herons and egrets. After a successful morning of birding, enjoy a packed lunch before heading back. The return journey offers final chances for sightings as you make your way back to your accommodation.
