      Abdul Shakur was my guide for this activity and he was excellent! The boat drivers and naturalists were also very helpful and really go out of their way to try and help you get good photos. The tour lasted about 5 hours and only about an hour of that was in the swamp. I do wish we could spend a little more time in there since the birding was excellent. The boat ride on Lake Victoria was also lovely and seeing the Shoebill and its baby was an absolute highlight!!

      Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the experience, especially the boat ride, excellent birding, and unforgettable sighting of the Shoebill and her baby. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Abdul Shakur, our boat drivers, and naturalists. We truly appreciate your support!
