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.
