Mabamba Swamp

Mabamba Swamp is Uganda’s top birding destination, located about one hour from Entebbe on the shores of Lake Victoria. It is internationally known as one of the best places in Africa to see the rare Shoebill Stork in the wild. Explored by guided canoe rides through papyrus channels, Mabamba is home to over 300 bird species, making it perfect for bird watching tours, photography safaris, and half-day excursions from Kampala or Entebbe. A Mabamba Shoebill tour is an easy and highly sought-after add-on to Uganda wildlife and gorilla trekking safaris.
