ENTEBBE BOTANICAL GARDENS BIRDING TOUR
Our Entebbe Botanical Gardens Birding Tour will take place at these beautiful gardens located along the shores of the mighty Lake Victoria. Entebbe is a gateway to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. We shall drive from our hotel and head straight to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens, where many birds will be awaiting us.
We shall enjoy birding here on foot as we walk along the established trails. The local species will span from forest species, grassland species and wetland birds along the lake shores. We shall be entertained by the local Hilgert’s Vervet Monkeys and other smaller mammals, like Mongooses and if lucky, we may spot some Otters.
We shall then head back to our lodge, marking the end to our lovely Entebbe Botanical Gardens Birding Tour.
