It is difficult to foresee how many hours you will hike; it may take two to eight hours.

But it will definitely be worthwhile as you observe them closely while they eat, play and rest. A unique and unforgettable experience!

weed to feed on the fish from the moving water in the swamp.The Shoebill stays in the papyrus
