Why visit Entebbe?
Entebbe is a vibrant city located on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda, known for its lush gardens, rich history, stunning views, and excellent restaurants. It is a gateway for travellers moving in and out of Uganda, as it is home to the country's main international airport, Entebbe International Airport.
Entebbe is a short drive (traffic-dependent) from Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, which offers urban attractions such as markets, museums, and cultural sites.
With that in mind, we have created our list of favourite things to do in Entebbe:

Why choose us to craft your safari?
Handcrafted experiential safaris since 1991.
Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
