This experience was magical. The Tour operator was great, and highly recommended. Went solo which was great - i got time to focus on meditation and appreciating the beauty of both Rwanda & Uganda. Good for the soul.

We did the Mabamba swamp tour to spot the shoebilled stork and other birds. The operator picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the dock for the private boat ride towards the swamp. Once arrived at the swamp we hopped on a smaller boat/canoe to start the actual swamp tour. The guide on the boat was very friendly and very knowledgable about all the species in general. After a short while the shoebill was located and we were taken to it. The guide gave us a great position compared to the other spotters on the site, which gave us great views on this special bird. After some time we left to check other parts of the swamp, which is an absolutely beautiful place and well recommeded for a visit. The guide was willing to give us an additional tour through the nearby botanical gardens The tour is well organized and should be very interesting to anyone with even a mild interest in birds/swamps/nature. Guide and drivers are friendly. The price is lower compared to other operators, whereas the quality appears to be the same or better. From pick-up to drop-off, the total duration is about 4 hours (7-11h). Well recommended!…

First of all Tolbert and Wilbert were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We set out at 7 in the morning to the Mabamba swamps to find the shoebill and much more. The trip to the swamp itself is about 45 min after which you jump in a smaller canoe to get deep into the swamp. With help of Tolbert we spotted 32 different bird species and the spotted necked otter. Finally getting rewarded with two great sightings of the Shoebill. The guides worked hard to push us through tiny canals and really did the most to get us the bucket list sighting!…

Samuel and tolber were super friendly, organized, and always on time. It was all very fluent and easy going. We did the gorilla trekking to bwindi. They are very professional and prudent. Always very kind and making us feel very comfortable and at home. They pick us up in kampala, help us find a pcr medical center and then the 10 hours road trip all the way to the lodge next to bwindi impenetrable forest. We have a very good time and tolber was a great guide. Will come back for sure and do the rest of the safaris / adventures they offer - you feel very welcomed, helped and safed the whole experience. Everything went better than expected!!!! Thanks again Great team and amazing and unique experience. Love uganda !!!!…
