Mabamba Swamp is a great introduction to birding in Uganda. It’s also arguably the best place in the world to see the sought-after Shoebill.

Nestled alongside Lake Victoria, Mabamba Swamp is a haven for birdwatchers, harbouring the elusive Shoebill and over 300 other bird species. A leisurely boat trip through the labyrinth of channels will focus on spotting notable birds like the Papyrus Gonolek, Yellow-billed Duck, Common Greenshank, White-winged Warbler, Swamp Flycatcher, African Jacana, Lesser Jacana, Blue-breasted Bee-eater, Malachite Kingfisher, and Carruther’s Cisticola.
