Shoebill Stork Bird Watching Tour at Mabamba Swamp
One-Day Itinerary
The shoebill, also called the whalebill, whale-headed stork, or shoe-billed stork, is a big, long-legged wading bird. Its name comes from the large, shoe-shaped bill. It’s great before or after a gorilla trekking safari in Uganda, or before or after a flight from Entebbe Airport. The tour begins and ends in Entebbe, but there are options to start and end in other locations, like Kampala, Wakiso, and Masaka, to name a few.
