Entebbe
Located on the shore of Lake Victoria 34kms from the capital city of Kampala is Entebbe town. ‘Entebbe’ in the local Luganda language, means a ‘seat’ and this has its historical connotations as this is where Buganda chiefs sat to adjudicate legal cases. Entebbe town hosts Uganda’s major International airport, where most of the visitors pass.
Its other historical importance can be explained by the fact that it first became a British colonial administrative and commercial centre in 1893 when Sir Gerald Portal, a colonial Commissioner, used it as a base. Port Bell went on to become Kampala’s harbor and later on first capital city.
Entebbe International Airport which was constructed in 1947.
