Itinerary and highlights
Take a gentle stroll in the company of a knowledgeable guide who will introduce you to the fascinating array of fauna (keep an eye peeled for the black and white colobus monkey) and flora along the way.

The bustling marketplace offers an eclectic array of arts and crafts, each piece crafted with passion and precision by skilled artisans. From stylish bags and shoes to intricately designed batik-print materials, you'll find a diverse range of products that celebrate the beauty of Ugandan craftsmanship.
Kitooro Market is praised for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse range of goods, and authentic local food offerings.
This is a small yet excellent church that holds historical significance, with the nearby Military Monument adding to its appeal. Visitors will appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the church's beautiful architecture, making it a nice spot to explore while in Entebbe.
