The Ssese Islands are an archipelago of 84 islands in the northwest of Lake Victoria, Uganda. About 43 of the islands are inhabited. The islands vary in size from less than 10,000 m², to over 40 km long for the largest island, Buggala.
This hotel consists of several modern self-catering cottages with hot water, right on the beach. The large restaurant/bar area also has DSTV and a pool table.
Accommodation in bungalows and tents. Camping possible on the beach at US$10 per person. Visitors to Islands Club are requested to pre-book in Kampala at Wema Tours.
Thatched cottages in a tropical garden with a restaurant and lake view.
There are two large ferries serving Buggala Island. One, a modern passenger/car ferry, runs daily between the Nakiwogo dock just south of Entebbe and Kalangala Bay.
Read in the guideTrips between the islands are by lake taxi. Private boats can also be arranged, but these tend to be expensive (something on the order of USh 50,000 per boat per hour) because of the fuel costs.
