Itinerary and highlights
Spend a relaxing and rewarding day exploring the Entebbe Botanical Gardens, one of Uganda’s best spots for bird watching. After a convenient pick-up from your hotel or Entebbe Airport, you’ll meet your professional bird guide who will lead you on a guided walking tour through the gardens’ different habitats — forest, grassland, and lakeshore.
With your binoculars in hand, you’ll search for a variety of colorful birds such as the Great Blue Turaco, African Fish Eagle, Malachite Kingfisher, and several sunbirds, weavers, and parrots. Your guide will help identify calls and behaviors while sharing fascinating facts about each species and their environment.
You’ll also enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the gardens, spot monkeys and butterflies, and take in scenic views of Lake Victoria. Midway through, you’ll have time to relax under the shade or enjoy a picnic-style lunch by the lakeshore before wrapping up your tour.
Finally, your driver will take you back to your hotel or to Entebbe Airport, ending your one-day birding adventure filled with great sightings, photographs, and memories.
