Entebbe Like a Local
Entebbe is much more than Uganda’s airport. Discover its markets, neighbourhoods, lakeside atmosphere, food and relaxed way of life.
A walking tour through Entebbe’s botanical gardens, Kitooro Market, history and lakeside.
Entebbe is a perfect town for walking: green, relaxed and full of small stories. We start in the botanical gardens, wander towards Kitooro Market, and finish by the lake where the town’s pace slows down.
Along the way I share what I know about Entebbe’s history as a colonial capital, its present as the gateway to Uganda and the people who live here.
Market sellers, gardeners and neighbours who will happily say hello. You will also meet other travellers, since this walk is often shared by a small group.

Morning is best. It is cooler in the gardens, and the market is at its liveliest.
