Our 2 days Mabamba Swamp and Entebbe tour will take you to experience birds of the Mabamba Swamp, the area is known for the critically endangered species of the shoe bill stock, they are attracted to the region because of the lung fish which is a major food for them to eat, they have greatly reduced in number as they are hunted by fishermen who also look at the lungfish for business, thanks to the continued conservation purposes the swamp is registered as one of the most important wetland areas and birding areas of Uganda and a Ramsar site, there are over 300 species of birds found here and in season these are joined by migratory birds from all over Africa. We will have the chance to explore Entebbe on a half-day tour to experience the Uganda Wildlife Education Center and shop at the Victoria Mall.
