View Shoebill By Boat

Makanaga Swamp Bay is considered one of the best spots in Uganda to see the Shoebill. Situated on Lake Victoria, the swamp can be reached from Kampala or Entebbe by taking a canoe boat. Visiting the area allows you to enjoy excellent views of the shoebill stork and other bird species. The trip to Makanaga typically begins in the morning with a canoe boat ride accompanied by a local guide who shares the area's history and helps spot various birds and aquatic life in the swamp.

The swamp is open for birdwatchers and tourists throughout the year, offering a wealth of experiences.
