1 Day trip to Entebbe

Entebbe is located 45 minutes drive from Kampala city centre. Entebbe is a colonial town situated at the Lake Shore with Indian style buildings. The major attractions here are Uganda wild life centre and Entebbe botanical gardens and Kigungu traditional fishing village

Itinerary:
After breakfast we shall transfer to the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC) in Entebbe. Here we shall see many of Uganda's local animal species and some exotic ones, represented by more than 200 animals kept in spacious enclosures. Mixed species exhibitions simulate Uganda's ecosystems of Savannah, wetlands and rain forest and present amongst others the rare Shoebill Stork, lions, white rhinos, chimps and other primates, ungulates and many reptiles.

There is also a designed forest walk with lots of information and a garden, which explains the medical use of local herbs. Watch out for over 200 bird species and free Vervet monkeys before transferring to the Entebbe botanical gardens

Entebbe Botanical Gardens:

 A visit to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens is very rewarding! Established in 1901 the gardens offer a superb introduction to Ugandan birds. In the gardens you will also find many interesting trees, shrubs and plants to look at and for the braver ones there is a spider walk with lots of live exhibits hanging off the trees.
We shall have lunch in a continental or traditional Uganda style restaurant in Entebbe town; thereafter travel to Kigungu traditional fishing village before returning to hotel in late evening.
