With some of the most inspiring lakeside surrounding us, Avocado Bay Private Retreat Entebbe is the ideal destination should you wish to include activities into your plans.

Natural Attractions in Entebbe

Entebbe, Uganda, has several natural attractions. Here are more natural attractions to explore in Entebbe, Uganda

Uganda Wildlife Education Centre Entebbe, Uganda

Entebbe is the location of the Uganda Wildlife Education and Conservation Center (UWEC). The Center also serves as the national zoo.

While it functions primarily as a zoo, this centre is actually a world-class animal refuge that has benefited from international assistance in recent years.

Most of the animals on display were once injured or were recovered from poachers and traffickers. Star attractions include chimpanzees (a good alternative to pricier Ngamba Island), southern white rhinos, lions, leopards and shoebill storks. Keep an eye out for the baby elephant wandering about too.

A variety of programs gets you closer to the animals, including chimp encounters, behind-the-scenes tours and zookeeper for the day (adult/child); book your (UWEC) Entebbe Zoo tour directly through responsibletourismcompany.com

There are long-term volunteering opportunities at Uganda Wildlife Education and Conservation Center (UWEC) and the Entebbe attraction has on-site lodging.

Kitubulu Forest and Beach: Nature walks and beach relaxation with scenic views of Lake Victoria.

Entebbe is also home to the historical site in Kigungu where the first catholic missionaries Brother Amans and Father Mon Maple Lourdel landed to establish the catholic faith in Uganda.

Zika Forest: A forest where the Zika Virus was first discovered, with insect studies and nature exploration.

Entebbe Crafts Village: A marketplace featuring local handicrafts, jewelry, and art.

State House: The official residence and office of the President of Uganda.

Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary Entebbe,Uganda,Africa

This sanctuary in Lake Victoria is home to around 50 orphaned chimps that have been rescued from elsewhere in Uganda and are being rehabilitated as much as possible on this thickly forested island. Day trips to see the residents are superb. Plan ahead and you can join the overnight experience and a forest-walk with the chimps, who'll climb all over you. It's a 50-/90-minute speedboat or motorised canoe ride from Entebbe to get here.

Located 23 km southeast of Entebbe in Lake Victoria, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, or 'Chimp Island', is home to over 40 orphaned or rescued chimpanzees who are unable to return to the wild. Humans are confined to one of the 40 hectares while the chimps wander freely through the rest, emerging from the forest twice a day for feeding at 11am and 2.30pm. This coincides with visitor arrival times to the island, with viewings of the chimps via a raised platform.

While it can't compare to the experience of seeing chimps in the wild, especially due to the large electrified fence that separates chimp from human, it still makes for a worthwhile excursion to observe the animals' remarkable behaviour. Guides here are informative, and there are individual profiles for each chimp, detailing both their distinct personalities and history. There are also big monitor lizards in residence and abundant birdlife.

The island is a project of the Chimpanzee Sanctuary & Wildlife Conservation Trust, which arranges bookings for day trips and accommodation.

Rates are based on a minimum group of two, though one individual can go at a higher rate. It's cheaper with larger group sizes. The half-day trip includes entry, guide and boat transport. Two trips depart from Entebbe per day: in the morning at 9am, returning at 12.45pm, or departing at 12.45pm and returning by 4.45pm.

The CSWCT also offers an overnight experience (first night/additional nights US$539/185) in a self-contained, solar-powered safari tent. Rates include lodging, full board, transport, activities and entry, based on two guests. Check the website for add-on activities.

Arrive via speed boat (50 minutes) or motorised canoe (90 minutes) from the Entebbe dock. Those who arrive via their own transport must pay an entry fee (adult/child US$35/15).

Entebbe Botanical Gardens Entebbe

Entebbe Botanical Gardens: A 37-acre garden featuring stunning plants, trees, and wildlife, including monkeys and birds.

Laid out in 1898, these expansive gardens are perfect for a leisurely stroll. The highlights are its pockets of thick rainforest, which locals claim some of the original Tarzan films were made in, and excellent birdwatching with 115 species (USh10,000 per guide). You'll see plenty of monkeys, including black and white colobus, and tree squirrels too.

Uganda Reptiles Village Entebbe

Get up close to some of the world's deadliest snakes, including mambas, cobras, puff adders and vipers, as well as chameleons, crocs and lizards, all of which are rescued or injured. It's around 3km off the Entebbe–Kampala road, about a 20-minute drive from Entebbe.
