Day 1

Entebbe – Subtle Beauty of Lake Victoria

Lake Victoria is an icon from the Africa travel bucket list, the continent’s largest lake, an immense body of water that changes color with the rising sun. The Lake Victoria Serena Resort & Spa is perfectly perched over the water, gazing out towards lost islands and the odd traditional fishing vessel. It has a private piece of shoreline and an excellent spa for recuperating after the flight. Entebbe’s colonial charms are found within easy walking distance, crumbling late 19th-century buildings that can be very photogenic in the late-afternoon light. You’re greeted at the airport for a short transfer to the hotel, where the afternoon is at your leisure. The hotel’s lakeside restaurant makes for a relaxed evening.
