Eco-Cycling Through Entebbe's Gardens, Forest, Villages, and Reptile Centre
Your lead guide, Micheal, will meet you directly in your hotel lobby at around 08:00 AM to begin the Eco-Cycling Experience.
Please ensure you are wearing comfortable sportswear, closed-toe shoes, and have your sunglasses ready. We will handle all premium bike adjustments and safety gear as soon as we arrive.
This 4-hour experience ends back at your hotel. You will cycle through eco-friendly places such as the Botanical Gardens, where the Tarzan movie was filmed in the 1823 black-and-white version. The gardens offer beautiful views of Lake Victoria (Nalubale), with lovely scenery and tree canopies. Here, you may encounter a number of primates, including black-and-white colobus monkeys and vervet monkeys, along with a variety of bird species.
After about 1 hour of cycling in the Botanical Gardens, you will continue along the lakeside toward the fishing villages. Here, you will meet locals and fishermen and see how local fishing is done.
You will later cycle through Katabi Forest, where time feels slow and you feel connected with the dense forest. You will hear different bird calls, such as the yellow-rumped tinkerbird, and see many butterfly species. Through the forest, you will connect to the local villages, where cycling feels different, with young boys and girls waving to you with beautiful smiles as you head to the Reptile Village.
At the Reptile Village, you will encounter a number of snake species, Nile crocodiles, and tortoise species with a site guide called Lawrance. This is called a leap of faith. All these animals have been rescued from people's homesteads and farms and are kept here for monitoring before being returned to conservation areas.
You will then cycle back to your hotel, but along the way, you will taste a local Rolex or Ugandan fruits. This final hour brings the cycling experience to an end.
