Things to do
Perhaps the best way to enjoy Entebbe is to stroll through the streets to get a feel for its laid-back energy. The roads are lined with old, majestic buildings, giving it a gorgeously characterful feel. During your wanderings, make sure to visit the botanical gardens with its velvet monkeys and tropical trees. For a fun day out, pop across to the city zoo.
