Lake Victoria with Olivia
Half a day on the world's second-largest freshwater lake: an hour by boat from Ggaba, a peninsula walk, the fish market, and fried tilapia for lunch.
And if nobody else books your slot, it runs as a private tour — same price.
Hosted by OliviaKnows every bird on Mabamba swamp
Ggaba is where Kampala meets its lake: fishing boats, food stalls, and the water traffic of Lake Victoria.
An hour by boat watching the lake at work, a 30-minute walk on the peninsula among the crops, then the fish market — and lunch: fried tilapia, straight off the boats.
Bring a camera, sunscreen and a rain jacket. Boat, entrance, lunch and transport included.
