I'm an amateur wildlife photographer and my friends and I had a spectacular experience with Wilson on this shoebill tour into the Mabamba wetlands! The communication ahead of time was clear, the pricing was transparent and fair, and the entire experience was extraordinary.
Wilson found the shoebill swiftly, and we spent a wonderful amount of quiet time observing this incredible animal. Wilson provided expert insights into the shoebill and a wide variety of plants and animals in the swamp. We saw saddle-bill stork, numerous kingfishers and egrets, hammerkop, and a wide variety of birds.
To emphasize what a thoughtful and dedicated guide Wilson is, after the tour concluded and we had said goodbye, my drive to the airport was disrupted by an out-of-commission ferry: Wilson sprang into action and came to the ferry point to ensure that I would be able to make my flight by helping me get a water taxi across a portion of Lake Victoria! He then accompanied me to ensure I got where I needed to go safely.
I cannot emphasize how highly I recommend this tour and how grateful I am for this remarkable experience. Book this tour...
Read moreI joined the Mabamba Swamp birding tour and had the most incredible experience — all thanks to our guide, Wilson. His knowledge of the shoebill stork was mind-blowing, and he even tied in stories about Japan, making the tour both educational and personal. I was incredibly lucky to capture the moment when the shoebill caught a lungfish — a once-in-a-lifetime shot! 📸 After the encounter, Wilson also introduced us to a variety of other bird species around the swamp and even some local fishermen, adding depth and authenticity to the experience. The tour lasted about two hours, but it was packed with unforgettable moments. 🔥 If you want the best possible experience, ask for Wilson by name — I personally vouch for how amazing he is. Thank you, Mr. Wilson! I’ll definitely be back someday.
