Mabamba Swamp Shoebill Watching EntebbeStart off with Mabamba Wetland (Lake Victoria), a renowned Ramsar Site, for being home to endangered species like the Shoebill Stork and Blue Swallow, the wetland hosts over 260 bird species. Take a motorized canoe trip on Lake Victoria to reach the wetland, named by fishermen for the large lungfish, or “Mamba,” that inhabit the area — a favorite food of the shoebill! Other notable birds include Pallid Harrier, Papyrus Gonolek, Swamp Flycatcher, Pygmy Goose, Lesser Jacana, Grosbeak Weaver, Palm-nut Vulture, Papyrus Canary, Malachite and Pied Kingfisher, Gull-billed Tern, Goliath Heron, and Egrets.

Founded in 2002 by Yasin Kazibwe, the park promotes reptile conservation and education. See snakes such as Black Mamba, Jameson’s Mamba, Rock Pythons, Vipers, Egyptian and Forest Cobras, and Puff Adders, along with chameleons, tortoises, crocodiles, and monitor lizards. Visitors can even handle a Rock Python or tortoise. All visits support community development initiatives, combining adventure with impact.

It is home to over 400 indigenous animals, 500 plant species, and 250+ bird species.

Other residents include zebras, antelopes, monkeys, giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos, warthogs, and birds such as the African fish eagle.

After lunch, Visit Kigungu Historical Site on the shores of Lake Victoria, where Uganda’s Catholic mission began. The first missionaries, Br. Amans, and Fr. Lourdel Maple, landed here on 17 February 1879. Highlights include the fishing village, Entebbe Airport runway, and lakeshore birdlife.
