Shoebill tracking
Tracking the prehistoric shoebill stork-like bird in Mabamba Bay is a top activity for most tourists coming through Entebbe. The enormous bird with a beak that looks like a shoe wades in the swampy mashes on the shores of Lake Victoria, an hour away from Papyrus Guesthouse.

Guided cycling
If you want to take a tour in the backstreets of Entebbe like a local and see what many tourists miss, take a guided bicycle tour. You'll find hidden local architectural buildings, calming views, and quiet neighbourhoods usually reserved for local eyes only. Cycling is one of the best ways to explore in one trip.

Chimp Island
Ngamba Island, a sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees, is an ideal visit for those who will not be going to see them in the countryside national park. The chimp sanctuary, set up on an island on Lake Victoria in 1998, is a haven for over 45 rescued and orphaned chimpanzees who wouldn't survive in the wild on their own. Visitors can feed, watch, and play with the chimps.
