Mabamba Shoebill Experience

Entebbe

Duration

Half day

Location

Entebbe

How demanding is this?

Easy

Two to three hours in a small motorised canoe through papyrus channels. Little walking.

Worth knowing before you book

  • •A small boat with limited stability. Not ideal if you are uneasy on water.

If any of this is a concern, tell us. We can usually adjust the trip, and we would much rather do that than have you find out on the day.
