Embark on an extraordinary bird-watching adventure at Mabamba Bay with the renowned One More Adventure Safaris. Rise with the first light of dawn as we make our way to the enchanting Kasenyi landing site. At 6:30 am, we’ll board a motorized speed boat, gliding effortlessly across the shimmering waters of Lake Victoria, eagerly anticipating the magical moment when the sun rises above the horizon.
The boat ride is a short, exhilarating 15-20 minutes, bringing us closer to our destination – the captivating Mabamba wetland. Here, we’ll switch to a local canoe, gently navigating through the serene wetland, towards the heart of the shoebills’ habitat. As we traverse the waterways, our eyes remain alert, scanning the surroundings in all directions, hoping to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures. And on that fortunate day, we behold their majestic presence!
With cameras in hand, we seize the opportunity to immortalize the moment, capturing the shoebills in their natural habitat. Watching these towering birds in action as they hunt for fish is a sight to behold – their sheer size and grace are simply unbelievable.
Mabamba wetland is not only home to a significant number of shoebill storks but also serves as the ultimate destination worldwide for observing these remarkable birds. In addition, the wetland teems with an array of other avian species, ensuring an unforgettable bird-watching experience for enthusiasts and photographers alike.
After indulging in this visual feast, we bid farewell to the wetland, embarking on our return journey to the hotel. As we cruise back on the boat, we are treated to a delightful en route experience. We witness local fishermen skillfully carrying out their daily duties, while our eagle eyes spot various other bird species fluttering above the tranquil waters.
For photographers and bird lovers, Mabamba Bay is an absolute must-visit destination. It offers a truly immersive and awe-inspiring experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
