Beach days

What it is

A day out on a lakeshore beach, with games, music, food, drinks and swimming only where it is safe. It is the classic day out for families, friends and staff groups, and a good rest day on a longer trip.

Where in Uganda

Bunjako in Mpigi District, the Entebbe beaches on Lake Victoria, Kalangala in the Ssese Islands, and Lake Bunyonyi.

What to expect

A half day or a full day. Our shared group trips leave from Oryx Fuel Station, Lugogo, in Kampala and need at least 10 travellers; private groups choose their own date and pickup point. Weekends are busier on the beaches.

Activity level

Level 1, Relaxed. A leisure day with optional games.

Good to know

• Bilharzia, a parasite in fresh water, is found in many parts of Lake Victoria. Swim only where a guide says it is safe, and ask your doctor for advice.
• Never swim after drinking alcohol. Adults must watch children in and near the water at all times.
• Bring sunscreen, a hat, a towel and a change of clothes.
• We share trip photos on Google Drive and may use them on our pages. If you would rather not appear, tell us before the trip.
