The zoo focuses on conservation and preserving some of Africa’s endangered species, and has purposefully designed its enclosures to be as natural as possible.
Close to Lake Victoria you’ll also find the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where you can meet these charming creatures and even take a walk with them through a forest enclosure.
A further celebration of the flora of the region can be found at the tranquil Entebbe Botanical Gardens, which is home to a troop of colobus and vervet monkeys. Ensure that you go on an official guided tour, and steer clear of unofficial guides.
