Uganda maybe landlocked but in Kampala, we are lucky enough to have Lake Victoria located just a short drive away from the city centre.
The lake is littered with the Ssese Islands that have resorts making them quick weekend getaways for those that want to escape the city’s hustle and bustle for a fraction of the cost of leaving the country. These are our favourite island escapes from from Kampala.
