entry description
the shoebill is quite an impressive bird, very rare and hard to find. there are only very view places left on the world where to find him in his natural swamp habit. If you are lucky you are able ti find him in south sudan, tanzania and uganda. possibly the bests chances to find this awesome bird are the mamba swamps in uganda close to the city of entebbe. at least this is the place where I was able to find this rare bird, such a lucky moment. other people plan a whole trip to find the shoebill and are trying for weeks and he just showed up right next to us on our trip to the mabama swamps. of course this was the plan, but I never hoped for it.back to gallery
