Excursión en busca del picozapato en Mabamba

The tour involves taking a boat to papyrus-filled Mabamba Swamp on Lake Victoria for a Shoebill bird excursion.You will be picked up very early in the morning and transferred to the lake to catch a boat to Mabamba Swamp. The name Mabamba was adopted from “mamba” in the local language because the area has an abundance of lung fish. The swamp lies near a relatively small village of Kasanje town (40 kilometers away from Kampala), west of Entebbe on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, covered with thick marshes of papyrus, water lilies, and other wetland grasses with a few hills surrounding the entire swamp. In Mabamba, you will board a wooden boat in search of Shoebill. Each boat will carry 3 persons for easier bird watching. A birding guide and a boat captain will accompany the tour, which will last for around 3 hours, depending on the luck of the day. The Shoebill usually hides in the weeds catching fish.
