Ssese Islands

Kalangala, Uganda

3 daysRated 4.3 out of 5 from 3 reviews$310per person

An archipelago of 84 forested islands in the northwestern corner of Lake Victoria, reached by ferry from Entebbe or Bukakata. Sand beaches, palm and rainforest, fish eagles overhead and almost nothing to do — which is the appeal. Buggala is the largest and most developed; the outer islands stay genuinely quiet. A natural finish to a longer Uganda circuit.

    Proper beach time without leaving Uganda. The ferry over is half the experience.

    Fish eagles calling all day, sunsets over the water, zero agenda. Exactly what we needed.

    Quiet and unpolished in the best way. Bring a book and let the days go.
