14 Days Uganda Birding Safari − DETAILED SAFARI ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival at Entebbe International Airport and Transfer to the Hotel.

This 14 Days Uganda birding tour kicks off the moment you touch down at the Entebbe International Airport.

A birding expedition in this swamp leads you to an encounter with the incredible Shoebill stork, the most eagerly sought of all African birds.

This impressive and somewhat dinosaur-like bird stands over 5ft tall and weighs up to 7kg. Grey in color, the shoebill is named for its large, hooked-tipped bill that is shaped like a shoe. Tan with brown splotches, 20cm long, and almost as wide – the bill is the largest among all living bird species. When perturbed this amazing bird loudly claps its upper and lower bill, rather like outsized castanets. Without a doubt, this is one of the weirdest birds on Earth.

Aside from Shoebills, Mabamba is home to over 300 bird species, many of which can be sighted on a canoe paddle along the narrow channels of the swamp. These include African pygmy goose, lesser jacana, Blue-breasted bee-eater, Carruthers’s cisticola, papyrus gonolek, white-winged warbler, swamp flycatcher, Viellot’s weaver, grosbeak weaver, black-headed weaver, northern brown-throated weaver, and Clarke’s weaver.  After this exciting birding trip, you will settle for lunch in Entebbe then embark on a 252 km (3-4 hours) drive to your hotel in Masindi town for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
