About Entebbe
Entebbe sits on a lush peninsula jutting into Lake Victoria — Africa's largest lake. Once Uganda's colonial capital, it retains a relaxed, leafy charm that contrasts sharply with Kampala's bustle. Home to Uganda's international airport, world-famous botanical gardens, and the gateway to the Ssese Islands, Entebbe is both a practical base and a destination in its own right.
