Facts about Entebbe town
Entebbe is found on the northern section of Lake Victoria – the largest lake in Africa.
Entebbe has a population of about 70,000 people.
In the Luganda language, the word “e tebbe” means to sit on a chair. The town was named Entebbe because it was where the local Baganda chiefs sat to resolve legal cases.
Entebbe has Uganda’s largest and only international airport. Because of that, most visits to Uganda start and end in Entebbe.
Entebbe is home to the official residence and office of the head of state. It is therefore the main center of power
One of the Tarzan movies was shot at the Entebbe botanical gardens.
Entebbe is one of Uganda’s best birding destinations. The botanical gardens and Mabamba swamp are the first places a birder should check out while on a birding tour in Uganda.
Entebbe town has the oldest golf course in Uganda and East Africa. It was established as early as 1900.
Entebbe has some of the most amazing beaches in Uganda and the world when you factor in the amazing Ssese islands.
Entebbe became famous in July 1976 when a team of Israeli commandos stormed the airport and rescued over 100 hostages (mainly Jews) who had been kidnapped while on board an Air France jet. The Ugandan dictator Idi Amin supported the hijackers.
To reach Entebbe town from the airport, you will need to hire an airport taxi for about $10. While in town, there are three modes of transport – by boda boda, special hire or public minibuses.
Getting decent accommodation in Entebbe for long term use is not easy and can be quiet expensive. This is partly because of the large UN personnel living and working in the town.
Nowadays, September '23, the hotel and the beach bar with the same name are separate businesses.
Enjoyed the "grilplatter" at an affordable price and the amazing view over Lake Victoria !

The rooms are nice size, they have mosquito nets. Our only problem was the water pressure, it was literally non-existent, barely a trickle of water.
We forgot our phone chargers in the room, but they kept it for us to get it later.
The breakfast is basic, if you are vegan there is not much you can find besides fruits, avo and toast. There isn't any cut of veggies (although later we saw that it's not the norm anywhere).
Lake Victoria is right at the back of the hotel, it's worth to walk down there to have a look. Not to swim as we we told that the lake has bilharzia.
I'm sorry to hear about the water pressure issue. We have a pressure pump that should keep the pressure up in all rooms. Of course there always can be isolated incidents, but the last one that was reported was many months back and sorted within minutes by the staff.
About the breakfast, as you are a guest and becomes a friend you should not hesitate if you're missing something and I'm sure we can help you.
Thanks for your review, it's great that any issues comes to our knowledge, but please as well report directly, we have reception service 24/7.
Hope this don't stops you from coming back.

Das große Zimmer über dem Restaurantbereich hat seine besten Tage hinter sich und leider hört man, wenn es mit dem Frühstück losgeht, gegen 5.30 Uhr geht's in der Küche los - einzig die Aussicht auf den See ist Klasse. Der Aufpreis zu den kleinen Standardzimmern ist das aber nicht wert, finden wir, zumal die moderner sind.
Essen im Barbereich am See ist sehr schön, Service und Qualität waren gut.
Leider müssen wir uns eine Mageninfektion zugezogen haben, im Coktail waren Eiswürfel, unser Fehler, trotzdem sollte soetwas nicht passieren. Gott sei Dank, war es nur 1 Tag und wurde nicht schlimmer.
Der Pool ist nett, aber die Bilder aus den Netz, sagen wir, sind sehr vorteilhaft gemacht. Zum Abkühlen, aber völlig ausreichend, hat hier ja nicht jedes Hotel.
The space is a bit small but really cozy, wonderful and the staff are very warm and smart.
The beach bar is well designed for you to enjoy the beach waves and breeze.
