Entebbe Botanical Gardens and Wildlife Centre
Lakeside gardens, a private VIP wildlife tour and an authentic tasting menu

This tour is designed to show you the nature on our doorstep, including a behind-the-scenes look at the Entebbe Wildlife Centre, lunch at the 4 star Imperial Botanical Hotel and a stop at Entebbe street market.
