1-Day Mabamba Swamp Shoebill Stork Safari

1 Day Mabamba Swamp, Uganda Serengeti Wildlife Safari 5.0/5 from 6 reviews

Overview

A day trip by canoe into Mabamba Swamp near Entebbe, one of the most reliable places in the world to see the shoebill stork, a prehistoric-looking bird prized by birders globally.

The shoebill stork's massive, oddly shaped bill and near-motionless hunting style have made it one of the most sought-after sightings for birders worldwide, and Mabamba Swamp is among the best places on Earth to find one reliably. The swamp is explored by traditional dugout canoe, gliding quietly through papyrus channels.
