Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Wir waren am Vormittag dort und anfangs ganz allein. Sehr schöner Garten, Affen gesehen und an einer Strandbude vom Victoriasee etwas getrunken.

Dejamos el último día en Entebbe para visitarlo por la tarde, pero la lluvia nos obligó a ir bastante tarde, ya con poca luz solar. Muchas aves para los amantes de la ornitología. En Internet leímos que el precio era de 10.000 chelines, pero nos cobraron 20 mil por persona....

We had a wonderful tour through the Botanical Garden by a guide named Bright that met us at the entrance gate. Bright was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to show us all the plants, trees, birds and mammals seen throughout the garden. This natural garden supports mostly native species and some very special magnificent trees and specimens. The tour was amazing and we would highly recommend Bright as a guide. I read that some reviews are skeptical of wanting to use a guide at this park, however, without a guide, you would miss most of what this park offers. We took many pictures without having to pay extra as other reviews were mentioning. We just provided a reasonable tip at the end of our 1.5 hour walk to show our appreciation. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend.

With my student card, I got an international student price of 10000 shillings. The price was displayed (a rarity in Uganda). A person wanted to guide me, but I asked how much and he said 20000, in which I passed. Rule of thumb in Uganda - nothing is free so always ask upfront.
Garden wasnt too interesting - roads were not well-maintained for the price that we are paying. There are some nice birds if you get to spot them. Takes about 1 hour to round the garden.
Some guy in there asked for donation for the environment.

Entrance fee is 20,000UGS per person for foreigners and then they tried to charge us 70,000 for wanting to taking photos! When we refused they yelled at us to come back but it felt like a scam so we left. After reading the reviews, I'm glad we didn't bother to pay and go in.

I went to the gardens due to having a free afternoon, flight out of entebbe was the following morning. I was looking forward to hopefully seeing some bird and monkey species that I hadn’t seen yet, and took my camera. After two weeks on safari, I was also looking forward to doing one single activity by myself without a guide being forced upon me.
Upon arrival I was greeted by 4 or 5 men. The entrance according to this sign was 20000 shillings for foreigners. I don’t know if the price has gone up or if the northern entrance closest to the Best Western is a scam entrance.
I was then asked if I was going to take pictures (they saw my camera). I said “maybe, if I see any birds” and a man said it would be an additional 70, 000 shillings. In any currency, that is far too much just for the chance to maybe take a couple nice photos of birds, or possibly a monkey if it isn’t obscured in the canopy. If it was an extra 1000 shillings or so, sure. But 30 Australian dollars is ridiculous.
At this same time I realised that one of the other men was undoubtedly going to be an unnecessary guide that would be forced onto me. Reading other reviews, it seems we were right.
I said “oh okay, no thanks” and left. They called for me to come back but I didn’t want to haggle the photography price to still have to pay or tip an unnecessary guide.
I Would have gladly paid a higher entrance fee for the experience I expected (private, self guided birdwatching and relaxing walk by myself). But it’s the photography scam I couldn’t stand
From the other reviews I’ve read, it sounds like nobody is policing this kind of activity or actually managing the place. I know it’s a developing country, but I strongly recommend saving your time and money for better locations with legit guides supported by your tour company. You will inevitably get assigned unnecessary guides at some point so save the tip money and mental energy for later.
If you (like me) are thinking of going to the gardens due to free time before or after a flight, just use the time to relax. If you’ve just arrived, you will see more wildlife and a lot more trees with your safari guide, and you will regret not relaxing/getting over jet lag once the safari starts as there will be very little relaxing with air conditioning!

Even the approach along Berkley Road to the Botanical Garden is fabulous, and once you have grossed the gates (and paid your entrance fee of UGS 10'000 per foreigner) you are just blown away by all the space and the huge old trees. The gardens cover a huge area and are set on a slope leading to the shores of Lake Victoria. There are all manner of birds and monkeys to be seen. It's wild and unkempt and therefore perfect for nature to spread its wings.
People drive their cars into the park and there is some litter around but there are efforts to clean it up. It feels very safe to wander there for hours and by the lakeshore you can even find restaurants and bars.
If you are into nature, reserve several hours for this place!

This is a large area filled with all kinds of tropical trees, plants, birds and wildlife. We walked around for a couple of hours enjoying the atmosphere and setting. We heard and saw many birds and spiders webs. We sat by the lake and bought a drink then watched swimmers and a class of schoolchildren who were making sand castles on the beach. This is well worth a visit. The trees are amazing, some very old and the gardens have a naturally wild feel.

This is a small, but sweet botanic garden and a lovely respite for a calming walk among 200 year old trees along the lakeside. There's plenty of bird and vervet monkey watching. Definitely get a guide - it's worth it!

L'entrée est de 20000 shilling pour les étranger. Le parc est très mal entre tenu. Sentir non signalé et beaucoup de déchets.
Ça ne vaut pas 20000 shiling.

Are we allowed to carry our own food or there are eat outs? Also, is having a picnic possible?

Yes, you can bring your own food. There are quite a few places nearby or on the beach to eat as well.
I think they can also arrange food to be ready when you return.

I would like more info on visiting the Entebbe Botanic Gardens, specifically about hiring a guide. Once you arrive, are there always guides available or do you have to arrange for that in advance? Can you pay the entrance fee and the side fee in US dollars or do you need to pay in local currency? Finally, how much do you tip the guide? Many thanks for your help with these questions.

PS almost everywhere would take US dollars, but your change, if needed, will always be in Ugandan currency. Suggest you go to bank ATM.
Who's the best local guide you can recommend to me when I do visit the gardens.???

Can you camp here?

The locals know where all the holes in the fence are so as much as camping is discouraged here the Gardens are " open " 24/7.
There is plenty of perfectly safe camping in Uganda, as we discovered. Not too far away from Entebbe is Orchids Campsite, on the shores of a crater lake, Lake Nabugabo. We had the camping area to ourselves – calm, peaceful, empty, dine al fresco, sleep.

Hi,I am just wondering if it will be possible to take photographs of the wild birds in the Botanical gardens especially the African Grey parrots. It has been a dream for me to see wild ones.
Best regards,

Yeah sure you can. Mind you however that it is an open garden, so the birds are not kept in a cage. It is just in the wild, meaning you must be lucky to find the African Grey parrot, but if they are there, you easily can make as much pictures as you want. The guide will be very much willing to help you to spot them and they will know if they are present at that time. Good luck
