islands, a sure thing to impress.
PDF Compressor Free Version
Departing from Anderita beach line, we hired a
greeted by tranquility , seeing Entebbe like never
before. As minutes roll by ,at leisure pace, I was
mesmerized by the lakeside, especially the
continuity of white sand at the beaches around
Lido beach, Spenah beach and Protea Hotel.
Whether you are out on a sightseeing experience
or on a romantic sail, the sunset cruise will be
sure to impress!
The cruise passes by the historical sites from
which Entebbe gets its name. The place is
Entebbe za Mugula, loosely translated as Seats
for Mugula. Mugula was a Buganda chief and he
used to sit and conduct his court from here. In
this place, there are rocky features carved like
seats that overlook lake Victoria near where the
airport is situated today. This is where he would
sit during judicial proceedings and village
meetings.
That aside, the cruise also takes you passed small
rock islands, including one where women are not
superstition.
In about 50 minutes, we had reached the equator
its way into the lake on the horizon, like a red-hot
big ball falling into the water. It is a moment that
every visitor wants to capture on camera while
posing on the equator monument recently
erected by Entebbe Municipal Council. A lot still
needs to be done to turn around this place into a
serious tourism site for tourists to stay longer.
For the short time we were there, we managed to
were monitor lizards and others swimming in the
water.
On the way back, with the sun having fully set, we
experienced Entebbe lights on this nighttime sail.
Cruising quietly by the bright and beautiful
Entebbe skyline, you will take in the breathtaking
views that can be seen this way from water on a
quiet and peaceful excursion.
Once again , the Boat docks at Anderita beach
line. These trips into the lakes and neighboring
islands are readily arranged at $15 each
Ugandan,$30 for foreign students and $50 for
foreigners.
