LUTEMBE BAY BIRDING TOUR
Our Lutembe Bay Birding Tour will visit a beautiful part of the Lake Victoria Basin. Lutembe Bay is located along the mouth of Murchison Bay, lying on the shores of Lake Victoria. This unique wetland is located between Kampala and Entebbe. We shall enjoy birding along the shallow papyrus swamps on foot and using a local boat.
There is also some woodland habitat to the upper section of the bay. Lutembe Bay is also an Important Bird Area (IBA).
We shall then head back to our lodge, marking the end to our lovely Lutembe Bay Birding Tour.
