Not so much a Botanical garden more of an Arboretum of trees from around the world. We had a guide which made our visit more informative, something I would recommend. The park has been damaged by a) a Recent Tornado and b) The recent high water levels of the Lake. There are great views through the trees of the lake. Like many tourist attractions in Uganda, it needs investment which is sadly lacking.

Worth going in for the beach but the nature was disappointing, some construction was even taking place inside when we went. Beach is on the far side, we found music and food there.

Just down the road from Lugard Ave. It's more an arboretum that a botanic garden, ie lots of lovely trees but not many flowering plants. Recommended

I wonder what prompts people to give this place great reviews. We had a terrible time here and felt cheated despite the affordable entry.
It starts at the entrance. Tourists are charged 10k UGX (about 2,5 EUR), local residents 3k UGX. We paid 3k each and 2k for the car. However, we noticed that payment only seems to be mandatory for Muzungus (white people) as other locals were simply waived through before and after us.
One can tell that that the parc has once been designed nicely. The overall architecture and the placement of the tall trees is thought through. But there is little to no maintenance. Gardening work is mostly left to nature. Signs on trees are very scarce (probably due to the fact that it's mostly laminated paper pinned to the tree).
The alleged highlight is the café right at the shore of the lake. This spot has great potential as it would be a great place to have a coffee, beer or cold drink, small meal etc. with a nice view. However, on the day we went (a Sunday), there was unbelievably loud music blasting onto the people that were present. Not only was the music a very bass based one, but it was also two different sources from two different directions. Total nonsense. We did not last more than 5 minutes before fleeing the spot. The music did not seem to bother some of the people there, but also, noone was actually enjoying it or even dancing to it. With all this nuisance, obviously bird or animal watching was not an option.
The rest of the parc is a mix of dust clouds (as many people drive on the dirt paths rather fast, despite the indication to parc right after the entrance) and more unwanted music since the parked cars play their own music for everyone to "enjoy". It is only about 1-2 km walking to go the large round in this parc. No idea why people come here to drive even the very last meters. Then people picnic a lot and leave a huge mess. Perhaps come in the morning when not so many packaging and food waste has been thrown onto the grass.
If you want a quite hang out spot on your way to the Airport, avoid this parc anf go to nearby ViaVia instead. Air is cleaner than in Kampala, they have drinks and food and you do not get blasted by loud music.

Esteblishe at the turn of the 19th C these gardens have magnificent trees. The gardens abut the shores of the lake. The birds were wonderful. Unfortunately,there are no gardens apart from the remarkable trees. It appears that the gardens are not given any care or attention/upkeep. Several of the trees had been blown overby a recent storm which was tragic. These trees were being cut up and cleared. Entrance fee of UGS 10000 for foreigners(approx US$3)

My host at Entebbe Elementis(Rebeka) advised me to take a guided tour to Botanical Garden. I found it pleasant as my Guide Mr. Peter was a knowledgeable guide and a kind guy too. Entebbe Botanical Gardens is an expansive green area on the Lake Victoria peninsula in Entebbe. It is the oldest Botanical Garden in Uganda. The best part of this garden is its Rainforests. Here we recall the Tarzan Movie that was filmed in these rain forests. In addition to different species of plants, we can see many types of colorful birds like hornbills, marabou storks, eagles, and a few others.

Побывать здесь стоит хотя бы по причине того, что больше в Энтеббе и пойти некуда. Тихое спокойное место. Разнообразие флоры и фауны. Лучшее место для прогулок в Энтеббе.

I recommend getting a guide (ours was named Raficki). The guide was a wealth of information about all the tres and animals. It made the trip so much more enjoyable

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?
Christopher W
Newark-on-Trent, UK40 bidrag
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,
Mehd

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
