After the excitement of gorilla trekking, game drives, and forest walks, why rush straight to the airport? Instead you could relax by Entebbe after your safari. Entebbe offers the ideal setting to wind down and reflect on your safari. For sure Tilapia Lodge is the perfect place to do just that. Nestled along the shores of Lake Victoria with a jungle style garden. This close to nature lodge is the kind of spot where you’ll want to slow down and soak it all in.
Why relax by Entebbe after your safari?
Here are a few reasons why adding a night or two in Entebbe is a brilliant idea after your safari.
Wake Up to Nature at Tilapia Lodge
Set in a lush, jungle-like garden on the shores of Lake Victoria, Tilapia Lodge gives you the peace and quiet you crave after days of travel and early morning safari starts. Watch Great Blue Turacos and hornbills flit through the trees as you enjoy breakfast with a view of the lake. The rooms are spacious, self-contained, and offer a real “safari-lodge” feeling. Without being far from the city or the airport.
Go for a Shoebill Stork Search at Mabamba Swamp
Still up for one last wildlife experience? Just a short boat-ride away lies Mabamba Swamp. This is one of the best places in Uganda to spot the Shoebill Stork. A morning canoe ride through the channels of the wetland is a peaceful and rewarding way to end your trip. The Shoebill’s pre-historic look and slow-motion hunting style is something that stays with you.
Tip: This can be arranged directly from Tilapia Lodge—perfect for your final full day in Uganda.
