croisbeauty Says: I knew rhino is big, strong, compact and powerful animal but all my previous ideas about crushed down when I saw it in live. Rhino is imposing by all means and my first impression was, gosh its almost as huge as battlewagon is and looks the same way unbeatenable.Rhino isn't...
georeiser Says: Entebbe is a nice city close to Lake Victoria. The road towards the airport pass close to the shore of the lake (see pictures). The shore of Lake Victoria is beautiful, and there are sandy beaches close to Entebbe. But be careful not to bath or wade in the water. Calm...

muguruki Says: Now it is rather handy if you know you can get a shower at the airport, possibly you have had a long journey to get to Entebbe before a flight. Well there are showers in the departure lounge at the airport but the the sinks along side the showers only had cold water!!!!
grets Says: We have lunch in the Equation Café, where 100% of the profits go to Children living with AIDS Charity. The menu is short, but adequate, and I try the Matoke with Groundnut sauce. Matoke is the local staple food, a plantain-like banana which is prepared much in the same way...
4 point: and the point is what?
muguruki Says: Expensive Indian run bar restaurant that seems to live off customers coming straight from the airport, either people working there or passengers straight off the flight. Because of the close proximity to the airport they seem quite happy to except payment in US$. The cakes...

Red Rooster: Another bar with a fowl name
muguruki Says: A nice bar is the Red Rooster. A sports bar it is called and even on the last occasion I was there they had 4 big screens each showing 4 different sporting events none of which I was interested in. Outside the open bar is a large garden area with tables and chairs. Beer...
muguruki Says: I have been told that it is possible to get public transport from the airport into Entebbe but myself as soon as I arrive after a long flight the last thing I want to do is stand around at a bus stop for any length of time. So as soon as I've got about £50 worth of Ugandan...

grets Says: As Robert drives out of Entebbe, I fall asleep almost immediately – we didn’t get a great deal of sleep on the plane. I wake up just in time for our arrival at the Equator, where we are given a demonstration of how the water runs clockwise through the plug hole in the...
