After an early morning breakfast at your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe, our company representative who will be your driver guide will pick you up and brief you about your trip and the embark on your transfer to Mabamba swamp. Mabamba Swamp is found in Kasanje Sub-county in Wakiso District about 50 kilometres southwest of Kampala and north of Entebbe peninsula. The site is the most accessible for spotting the wild species of Shoebill Stork in the whole world. The Birding excursion is done on the canoes. These hefty marshlands are home to an ecological unit of birds, animals, bugs, fish, that are not found elsewhere. The Shoebill is part of that ecology, preferring the loneliness of these large marshes. You will be able to see the Shoebill and other papyrus specialist birds like Saddle-billed Stork, Malachite Kingfisher, African Jacana, and other swamp specialties.

Touring with Micheal The high light on my tour of 12 days was mainly for primate trekking and cats l used Ngorongoro tours. Michael was our tour guide very helpful and knowledgeable. All accommodations, trekking, game drives - all well organized making the experience relaxing and enjoyable. The chimpanzees and gorilla encounters were unforgettable. Michael did a fantastic in providing options and suggestions for the group to have a wonderful experience. He even provided and extra game drive to see if we can catch more animals in the wild like Lions, Elephants Hippos and others . All in the group truly felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Highly recommended Ngorongoro tours for anyone looking for a wonderful and worry free African adventure.

Andy is a very hardworking kind reliable tour operator. When I emailed Andy about suggestions to add to the Safari itinerary and other questions, I got a very quick response with adjustments for my liking. For him it was very important that our safari was a great succes. With his experience and guidance I got to see the most beautiful sights. Doing a safari can be very expensive but my safari with Andy is money well spend! I very much recommend him.
