Detailed itinerary
Pick up, explore Akagera national park and drop off
Our Guide/Driver will pick you up from the airport or your hotel or residence

Entebbe for the Seasoned Traveler: Where to Stay, Drink Coffee and Spend Your Time
Discover the best places to stay, drink Ugandan coffee and explore Entebbe, from Lake Victoria cruises and botanical gardens to shoebill tracking and conservation experiences. For many visitors, Entebbe is simply the place where their flight lands before they continue to Kampala, Bwindi, Murchison Falls, or another part of Uganda. Experienced travelers know better. Set along the northern shores of Lake Victoria, Entebbe offers something increasingly rare in modern travel: a gentle arrival. Its leafy streets, tropical gardens, lakeside restaurants, historic institutions, and unhurried atmosphere provide a welcome transition between an international flight and the intensity of an African safari. Entebbe does not demand that you rush from one attraction to another. It rewards travelers who stay for a night or two, recover from the journey, drink good Ugandan coffee, and explore at a considered pace.
