Mabamba Swamp – Canoe Trip for the Shoebill Stork

Uganda is one of the best places in the world to see the rare and prehistoric-looking Shoebill Stork. A guided canoe trip through the Mabamba Swamp near Entebbe – or in other wetlands across the country – brings you silently close to this extraordinary bird, along with countless other water species. Gliding quietly through the papyrus channels, you may also spot African jacanas, malachite kingfishers, and swamp flycatchers, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and photographers alike.
