About Kampala and Entebbe

Entebbe, on the shore of Lake Victoria, is home to Uganda’s international airport, the botanical gardens and the starting point for the Mabamba shoebill trip. Kampala, about an hour away via the expressway, is the lively capital, with royal Buganda sites, markets and restaurants. Read Kampala food and market tour.

Hotels in Entebbe suit early or late flights, while Kampala suits city tours, business and restaurants. Traffic between the two can be heavy at peak times, so we plan transfers around your flight. Read our Uganda visa guide and is Uganda safe for tourists? before you travel.
