Entebbe

Entebbe — Uganda’s lakeside gateway on Lake Victoria, airport hub, and soft start for gorilla or safari circuits.

Entebbe is where most Uganda journeys begin: international arrivals, Lake Victoria shorelines, botanical gardens, and optional chimpanzee or birding day trips before heading to Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, or Murchison. It is a calm staging town rather than a big-game destination.

We plan Entebbe nights to protect connections — especially when gorilla permits and park transfers demand early starts inland.
