Mabamba Swamp BirdWatching Tours, Wetland birding destination in Mabamba Bay, Uganda
Located on Lake Victoria's northern shore, Mabamba Swamp spans 2424 hectares of papyrus marshes, water lilies, and wetland grasses, supporting 300 bird species.
Mabamba Swamp received designation as a Ramsar site in 2006, establishing international protection for its ecological resources and endangered bird populations.
Local fishermen transformed their traditional practices by becoming skilled bird guides, sharing their deep knowledge of the wetland's ecosystem with visitors.
Visitors access the swamp through wooden boats departing from Nakiwogo landing site in Entebbe, followed by a ferry ride to Kasanje landing.
The Shoebill stork hunts lungfish in the morning hours, standing motionless in the water before capturing prey with its large, distinctive bill.
