Gorilla Page Safaris welcomes you to Entebbe, a serene city that often serves as a gateway to Uganda, primarily due to its international airport. Positioned on a peninsula along Lake Victoria, it offers an excellent start or end to a Ugandan adventure, featuring a blend of relaxation and natural beauty.

A key attraction in Entebbe is the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC), which functions as a conservation and animal rescue center. Unlike a traditional zoo, UWEC resembles a safari park where visitors can observe rescued animals, including lions, giraffes, and chimpanzees, in a more natural setting.

Additionally, a unique opportunity exists to visit the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, located on a forested island that cares for rescued chimpanzees.

For nature enthusiasts, there are several activities to consider. Birdwatching in the Mabamba Swamp offers chances to spot the rare shoebill stork. A boat cruise on Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, allows visitors to appreciate the scenic beauty from the water.

The Entebbe Botanical Gardens, which served as a filming location for parts of the original “Tarzan” movie, provide a lush environment for exploration.

For further adventures, visitors can also unwind on the sandy shores of the lake or check out the Uganda Reptile Village for a closer look at the region’s reptiles.
