Mabamba to Lake Mburo
Birding safaris in Uganda
The birding safari starts at dawn in Mabamba Swamp, where a local canoe and an expert birder look for the shoebill. It then moves through Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Mburo, from wetland to forest to savanna.
3 trips. Mabamba is one of the most reliable places near Entebbe for shoebills, though they are wild and never guaranteed. The Gorilla and Chimp Safari also finishes with a shoebill search.
Dawn birding, forest treks and savanna afternoons are spaced so that optics, walking and drive hours stay comfortable, and binoculars are essential on most days, so bring a pair.
