Someday we will visit Entebbe or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Entebbe

Entebbe is a pleasant town built on the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda.

"Entebbe", in the local Luganda language, means a "seat" and was probably named that because it was the place where a Baganda chief sat to adjudicate legal cases. It first became a British colonial administrative and commercial centre in 1893 when Sir Gerald Portal, a colonial Commissioner, used it as a base. Port Bell went on to become Kampala's harbour. Although no ships dock there now, there is still a jetty, which was used by Lake Victoria ferries.
