A lakeside town on Uganda's Lake Victoria, home to the country's only international airport and its peaceful, green gateway.

📍 Destination Overview

Entebbe, a town on Lake Victoria in southern Uganda, hosts the country's only international airport, so most visitors pass through it. Unlike busy Kampala, it is a calm, green lakeside town that was once the colonial administrative center. A historic botanical garden shelters birds and monkeys, a wildlife center cares for lions and chimpanzees, and the lakefront is gently inviting.
