Entebbe is beginning to be seen as more than a place to begin and end a tour with a growing restaurant scene and peaceful lake-side ambiance. People spending a day here can explore the colonial botanical gardens, take a shoebill stork expedition in the papyrus or a scenic sunset cruise on the lake before embarking on safari.
