  • Ngamba Island is a 100-acre sanctuary with lush vegetation and many species of food trees. A total of 39 chimps are kept here, and have the run of the majority of the island. Just a small are for visitors is fenced off – as adult chimps can become quite aggressive and have been known to attack humans.

    VISA ON ARRIVAL AT ENTEBBE AIRPORT


    Do you need a visa for Uganda and can you get it on arrival at the airport. Who knows? The Government of Uganda likes to keep you guessing! If you can get a Visa on arrival - that will be $50 U.S. please. Their London High Commission (Embassy) says you have to get it before you go. Last updated 1999. I went in 2007 with an American & British Passport and got it at Entebbe Airport for $50. A tour company website based in Uganda says I should have gotten it for free. This same website says that information on visas changes daily! Also I had an Ethiopian friend who was told he needed a visa before we flew here from Addis Ababa. When we arrived the friend with the visa was told they could have gotten the visa on arrival!

    My suggestion to you? Follow the link below to your local Uganda High Commission and telephone them before you book the ticket if you hold a passport other than US or UK. US & UK can get them when they land – no problem.

    Animal orphanage
    The animal orphanage park is what we usually call the zoo. There are not many animal speacies inside the zoo, mostly those whom inhabitating Uganda. The park itself is pretty huge and nice place for a walking tours.

    Lake Victoria
    Victoria Lake looks huge, almost like a sea, and Ugandans (Lugandans) like it very much. It is favourite place for the locals to spend holidays, short excursions or swimming during the weekends. The water, however, isnt advisable for swimming, especially for whites because of mosquitos and other small creatures spreading diseases to which locals are alomost imune.
