3 Days Ssese Islands Tour
The Uganda Ssese Islands tour provides an exciting opportunity to explore over 84 islands in Lake Victoria, located approximately 51 kilometers from Entebbe. Fishing is the main activity, with tourism on the rise. Bugala Island is the largest and most popular, along with other notable islands like Nsirwe, Funve, Bubende, Serinya, and Kalangala, which serves as the district’s administrative center. The sparsely populated Ssese Islands offer a peaceful retreat from urban life.
The islands feature clear waters, white sandy beaches, and lush rainforests, providing activities like swimming, canoeing, beach games, quad biking, boat cruises, and visits to fishing communities. They are also great for birdwatching and spotting small primates.
The 3-day Uganda Ssese Islands Tour is an enchanting getaway ideal for holidaymakers, couples, and honeymooners, starting and ending in Kampala or Entebbe.
