We had a few days in Entebbe before embarking on our birding and gorilla safari, so headed out to Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary. Well worth the visit, learnt a lot about chimps, had a wonderful boat ride on Lake Victoria crossing the equator each way and spent quite some time observing the bird and reptile life along the shore line of the island....a most enjoyable day!!

Entebbe Botanic Gardens

Reviewed By Uluwhehi - Denver, United States

We took a tour of the botanical gardens on our first day in Entebbe. Definitely take a tour guide as you will miss most things because there are very few signs. In addition to the plants, there are also monkeys (black and white colobus( which reportedly escaped from the zoo and have made the gardens their home. Some guides will offer the opportunity to feed/interact with the vervet monkeys. DO NOT feed the monkeys, they become more bold and can bite if you do.

Entebbe Crafts Village

Reviewed By ivoryrainbow

I spent my last day in Uganda in Entebbe spending a good amount of time in the morning exploring several craft markets located onthe main road leading to the airport. Compared to the market in Kampala, I must say it was a little more relaxing and the price was marginally cheaper. In Kampala, you really have to spend long time to really figure out about the true price for items and likely the sellers would start out at higher price tag before you negotiate down but in Entebbe I found their starting price for the similar items isn't as high as Kampala. The size of each market might be smaller than one in Kampala and there are about 4~5 different sections you either walk or take a boda(motorcycle taxi, each ride for 2000~3000) to hop from one place to another.
