Entebbe is an attractive, verdant town that served as the capital city during the early years of the British protectorate. However it is the relaxed pace of life and natural attractions rather than any notable colonial relics that give the city its charm. Entebbe makes a nice introduction to Uganda. Entebbe has several inviting beaches on the shores of Lake Victoria, most with white powdery sand.

After checking into your Lodge, you will have the afternoon to relax and enjoy being pampered by the friendly Lodge staff.

The outlet of Lake Victoria sends around 300 cubic meters per second (11,000 ft³/s) of water over the falls, squeezed into a gorge less than 10 m (33 ft).
