Entebbe, Your Gateway to Uganda

The pleasant town of Entebbe has a wonderful location on a northern peninsula of Lake Victoria. This tropical lakeside city is a more relaxed stop over destination than Kampala and as Uganda‘s main international airport is located here, it’s a great base for exploring rest of the country.

A city built on nature, Entebbe’s streets are home to the cute and cheeky Vervet monkey and it’s a birdwatcher’s paradise. The extensive National Botanical Gardens and parks with the sea-like lake in the background give the city a serene atmosphere, but don’t be fooled, there’s plenty to do here during your stay.

Entebbe’s Uganda Wildlife Education Centre is the country’s national zoo and houses animals that have been rescued from smugglers and poachers. A trip out to Ngamba island to the chimpanzee sanctuary is well worth it too, as is an excursion to the Mbamba Swamps to see the huge stork-like shoebills.
