Uganda is one of Africa's top birding destinations with over 1,090 recorded species — more than any other country of comparable size. This 2-day birding safari focuses on the Entebbe area and the famous Mabamba Swamp on the shores of Lake Victoria.

Mabamba Swamp is one of the most reliable places in Africa to see the prehistoric-looking Shoebill stork, one of the continent's most sought-after birds. You'll glide through the papyrus channels in a traditional wooden canoe, searching for this remarkable bird along with malachite kingfishers, papyrus gonoleks, and African jacanas.

The Entebbe Botanical Gardens on the shores of Lake Victoria add another dimension, with Great Blue Turacos, African Grey Parrots, and dozens of sunbird species in a beautiful lakeside setting.
