The Mabamba wetland, located west of Entebbe, is one of the best and most convenient places to encounter the elusive shoebill and a prime birding site. After a few minutes in a small canoe, the papyrus reeds open up into a flat grassy wetland where shoebills are regularly sighted. The shoebills are most relaxed in the morning when they stalk their main prey ( fish or frogs) though they can be spotted all day. The shoebills may stand still for long periods awaiting the movements of their prey and then suddenly strike with astonishing speed. We shall take a boat tour across Lake Victoria, arriving at Mabamba by boat. The boat allows you to see many birds that you may otherwise miss. After the Mabamba trek, you will drive back to the guest house to prepare for your flight. In the evening drop-off at Entebbe international airport & depart to your next destination.
