Things to do in Entebbe

No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Uganda

Lake Victoria

Lake Victoria spans Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, with a vast surface like an inland sea. Standing on the shore in Entebbe, you can barely see the opposite side. This body of water is also the source lake of the Nile. The water flows out from the Jinja area in Uganda and heads north, forming the upper reaches of the Nile. The lake is rich in fish and water birds. The Ugandan side of the lake is adjacent to the capital, Kampala, and Entebbe is the main gateway for tours of the lake region. Taking a boat tour of the lake is an iconic experience here. The lake is calm in the early morning, perfect for birdwatching, and at dusk, the sunset dyes the water golden red as fishing boats return in groups. Boat tours departing from Entebbe also pass by the equator marker on the lake, a ritual of crossing between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres that draws many visitors.
