Shoebill Stork and Birdwatching Tour at Mabamba swamp

Entebbe is a charming town on the shores of Lake Victoria, home to Uganda’s main international airport. It offers scenic beaches, the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (Zoo), botanical gardens, and access to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary — making it a relaxing gateway to Uganda.

Shared by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, it’s the source of the Nile River and supports fishing, transport, and tourism. In Uganda, it offers beautiful views, islands, beaches, and water activities.

Mabamba Swamp, located west of Entebbe on Lake Victoria, is one of the best places in Uganda to see the rare Shoebill Stork. The bird is often spotted while on a guided canoe tour through the papyrus-lined channels, making it a top birdwatching destination for nature lovers and photographers.
