Entebbe

Where is Entebbe?

Entebbe is located in the centre of Uganda, on the shores of Africa’s largest great lake: Lake Victoria. Close to the capital of Kampala, Entebbe was the administrative capital of Uganda during the colonial period. Today, it serves as a transport hub for the country, and its international airport provides connections to the rest of the world.

What to do?

Most visits to Entebbe will involve little more than a welcome meal and perhaps some time by the pool in one of its charming hotels. However, there is much more to enjoy for those who would like to spend a little more time in the city.

Recently, modern shopping malls have been built offering a variety of retail choices. There’s also a scenic golf course to enjoy. The botanical gardens provide an attractive respite in the city centre.

The proximity to Lake Victoria also means that visitors can head out on the lake and enjoy observing the birdlife and wildlife to be found there.

Best time to visit?

Like the rest of Uganda, Entebbe has a pleasant climate all year round. However, due to its lower altitude, and proximity to the lakeshore, it can get more hot and humid than other parts of the country. The best time to visit is during the cooler, drier months of June to October.
