While on a Mabamba Birding Tour, you will sail on the calm waters of the swamp. A canoe voyage through papyrus swamp in the Mabamba Bay will take you to the unscathed attractiveness of the wetland, where you will have the highest chance of seeing Shoebill and other papyrus specialist birds like Saddle-billed Stork, Malachite Kingfisher, African Jacana, and other swamp specialities. Mabamba Swamp birding Tour will offer you with an opportunity to make acquainted with one of Uganda’s stunning swamps.
The marshland is a newly discovered home for the most wanted bird the shoe bill that you look out for in the skies and down on the swamp. Others bird species at the bay include the White-winged Warbler, Papyrus Gonolek, yellow-backed weaver, Northern Brown-throated Weaver, Blue-headed Coucal and other swamp specialties.
