Shambe Nature Reserve- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Shambe Nature Reserve, established in 1985, covers 620 square kilometers on the western bank of the White Nile, south of the EzZeraf Reserve. The reserve is part of the White Nile River ecosystem, characterized by oxbow lakes and seasonal floodplains. It is a significant bird-watching destination, hosting thousands of species, including both endemic and migratory birds. Originally created to protect rhinos, hippopotamuses, and various mammals such as gazelles, lions, giraffes, and ostriches, the reserve's wetland habitats also provide refuge for elephants and other wildlife.
