The Internet was not good and the whatsup app didn't come through so I thought the guide was not answering me.

You will see a lot of birds. We were lucky to see the shoebill. Eric the boat driver jumped into the water to get us closer to the Shoebill. He was far away and kind of hard to see even with zoom.

Entebbe is where we met our boat captain: Martin. He was so good at finding, pointing out, and identifying birds and mammals (otters!) on our trip across the bay towards Malabar Swamps. Besides finding the shoe bill, Martin’s section of the trip was the highlight of.
