Shoebill Tracking in Uganda and Rwanda
The shoebill is one of Uganda’s most sought-after birds. Tracking usually focuses on suitable wetland habitat and benefits from an early start, a patient guide and enough time to observe without crowding the bird. Shoebill time can be added near the start or end of a longer safari, especially for birders and photographers.
