Entebbe

Entebbe is Uganda's most serene and captivating lakeside town — a lush, green peninsula city nestled on the northern shores of Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, just 40 kilometres south of Kampala. Home to Uganda's only international airport, Entebbe serves as the country's primary gateway, welcoming travellers to the Pearl of Africa with an unhurried, colonial-era charm that offers a world away from Kampala's energy. The magnificent Entebbe Botanical Gardens, established in 1898, the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, and the papyrus-lined Mabamba Swamp — home to the legendary shoebill stork — make Entebbe a rewarding destination in its own right. Add stunning Lake Victoria sunsets, the pristine Ssese Islands archipelago, and easy access to Uganda's greatest wildlife experiences, and Entebbe is the perfect beginning and end to any Ugandan adventure.
