Entebbe Overview

Overview

Entebbe is just south of Kampala . It is located at Lake Victoria and is mainly known because the main airport of Kampala is located here. Entebbe is built around the shores of Lake Victoria and is primarily active as the location of the airport, although the Ugandan Government House is set to move back here in the future. The drive to or from Kampala is about an hour. The United Nations uses Entebbe as a depot and staging area for their vehicles and heavy equipment that are part of peace keeping and other missions in the central African region. Entebbe offers a relaxed stopover alternative to Kampala on your way into or out of the country by airplane, as the air is clean, the streets are safe to walk, and the old colonial gardens and parks with the lake in the background make for a serene atmosphere. The old Botanical Gardens, while tired, will be of interest to botanists and birders unlikely to see specimens in the wild. The city is the location of the international airport.
