Discover the local greenery 

Entebbe, based on the tranquil shores of Lake Victoria, is a nature lover’s paradise. For a taste of the local fauna, visit the Entebbe Botanical garden. Situated on the lake shore, you can easily while away a day wondering around this green haven.

Beaches, bays and rays 

Your perfect beach day is never far away in Entebbe. Head towards the lake shore and visit the beautiful Kisubi beach. Tucked in a quiet bay, this is the perfect place for a day of tranquil relaxation.

Visit the reptile village

Get up close with some of Uganda’s most exciting scaled creatures when you visit the Reptile Village. See snakes, turtles, crocodiles and many more as you explore the park.

With its rich and diverse wildlife, breath-taking views and range of extreme activities, Entebbe epitomises the very best of what Uganda has to offer. Interact with animals you’d only ever dreamed of seeing first hand, explore the vast waters of Lake Victoria and savour the sweetest fruit you’ll ever taste to make your stay one you’ll always remember.

Sink into nature

Incredible wildlife is everywhere you look in Entebbe. Familiarise yourself with the local animals with a visit to Entebbe Botanical Gardens, where botany students will teach you all about the park’s flora, fauna, and 115 different types of bird. For a more hands-on experience, head to the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre to meet chimps, white rhinos, lions, leopards and shoebill storks, and book a behind-the-scenes tour or ‘keeper for the day’ package to get even closer to your favourite exotic creatures.

Go island-hopping

Whether you’re craving a relaxed beach day or a unique Eastern-African experience, the islands of Lake Victoria have something to offer. Swing by the Ssese Islands and relax on your pick of glorious white beaches, or, for a complete alternative, head to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary to feed and cuddle the 49 orphaned chimps that call it home. If you choose to stay the night, you can also enjoy the sanctuary’s evening campfires, which invite you to explore Uganda’s rich culture through song, dance and folklore.

Spend some time on the water

Entebbe’s extraordinary location on the shores of Lake Victoria grants several opportunities to engage with the water. Treat yourself to a sunset cruise, spy some wild shoebills in the Mabamba Swamp or laze away your days with a spot of fishing. Surrounded by charming lakeside fishing villages, there are plenty of places to pick up the sport - and maybe even catch yourself a Nile Perch, the world’s largest freshwater fish, for dinner.

Book a flash bike tour

Cycling around Entebbe with the help of a personal tour guide can be a fantastic way to get to know the area - particularly if you’re not staying for very long. Zip through gardens, sandy beaches, ports and exotic markets: and maybe hop off to taste a delicious locally-grown banana while you’re there, too.
