What’s the most unexpected wildlife encounter I could have in Uganda?

While Uganda is famed for gorillas and lions, it's also home to a startling range of wildlife. One of the most unusual experiences you could have is with the shoebill stork. 

The shoebill is a rare and elusive species often found wading through the wetlands of Mabamba Bay, a popular bird-watching destination near Lake Victoria. You might also catch a glimpse of this remarkable bird along the shores of Lake Mburo National Park or in the swampy areas of the Albertine Rift. Observing the shoebill in its natural habitat is a thrilling experience for bird enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike.
