The wetland is Uganda's most important birding site, and it is home to over 300 bird species. Mabamba is an area of immense ecological importance. In 2006, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands awarded Mabamba Swamp the status of a 'Wetland of International Importance' since it contains globally threatened species. Mabamba Swamp is located on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, The Swamp covers over 2424 hectares & is covered in thick marshes of papyrus, water lilies, and other wetland grasses. Mabamba will captivate both birders and non-birders. The Mabamba Swamp is designated as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International (IBA). With the help of international partners, the Ugandan government has reduced encroachment on the wetland & helped promote it as a leading birding destination in the country. The government has initiated community sensitization programs in Mabamba Bay Wetlands Uganda to deter encroachment and inform people about the importance of the swamp to the Eco-system.

  • Mabamba Shoebills Watching, Entebbe, Uganda
    This is a quick trip to Mabamba wetlands to look for the Shoebill for those who just want to see the Shoebill, but it will also be a full-day birding excursion for birdwatchers who want to see the Shoebill & tick off several wetland specials and other birds of Uganda one can find in this area. This large pre-historic-looking bird is such a marvel that wildlife lovers want to see it on their safaris or during a business visit in Uganda. For birdwatchers, the Shoebill is a special sighting that is often number one on their wish lists of birds to see & photograph in Uganda. Few places in Uganda can give you a sighting of the Shoebill and Mabamba wetlands is by far the best that will give you the highest chances. It is also the most accessible, being located on the shores of Lake Victoria, an hour’s drive from either Entebbe. Mabamba is a RAMSAR wetland and Important Bird Area (IBA) hosting more than 300 bird species which include 7 of Uganda’s 12 Lake Victoria Basin restricted species.
