Itinerary

Meeting Point for the Lake Victoria Fishing Trips, Uganda

For our day trips we meet in Entebbe at Banga Beach, where safe parking is available and a suitable jetty area from where we depart/return. Transport can be arranged to and from the jetty from local Entebbe and Kampala hotels upon request and for overnight trip groups.

Day Trips – timings

Trips normally depart around 9.00 am or 1.00pm and return around 12.30pm or 5.00pm with a full day being approximately 8 hours on the water and a half day around 4 hours. Fishing is done around local inlets and islands approximately a 30–45-minute boat trip from Entebbe. The areas fished will depend upon the weather and how the fish are biting. At certain times of the year the lake can be very rough with large swells and so then we tend to utilise the sheltered bays for fishing. A picnic lunch is provided with a cool box of beers, mineral water and sodas as well as tea and coffee. Anglers are free to bring along additional drinks required.

What to bring on board during the Lake Victoria Fishing trips in Uganda

We suggest you bring as much sun protection as possible – hats, sunglasses, creams as it can be quite hot out on the lake (average day time temperatures are in the mid to late 20 degrees C). Strops or sandals are a good idea as you may well get wet feet – especially getting on and off the boat! Insect repellent is a good idea. A camera if you’d like to capture “the big fish” on film and a pair of binoculars if you are keen on birdlife. Light day wear such as T shirts and shorts are normally fine but we recommend a rain jacket in case of bad weather and a sweater or light jacket for cooler weather and the evenings.
