What To Expect

Mabamba Swamp

After an early morning breakfast at your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe, our company representative who will be your driver guide will pick you up and brief you about your trip and embark on your transfer to Mabamba swamp. Mabamba Swamp is found in Kasanje Sub-county in Wakiso District about 50 kilometres southwest of Kampala and north of Entebbe peninsula. The site is the most accessible for spotting the wild species of Shoebill Stork in the whole world. The birding excursion is done on the canoes. These hefty marshlands are home to an ecological unit of birds, animals, bugs, and fish, that are not found elsewhere. The shoebill is part of that ecology, preferring the loneliness of these large marshes. You will be able to see the shoebill and other papyrus specialist birds like Saddle-billed Stork, Malachite Kingfisher, African Jacana, and other swamp specialties. Mabamba Swamp Birding Tour will offer you an opportunity to get acquainted with one of Uganda’s stunning swamps.
