    Some History<\/h4>

    \u201cEntebbe\u201d, in the local Luganda language, means a \u201cseat\u201d, and was probably named that because it was the place where a Baganda chief sat to adjudicate legal cases. It first became a British colonial administrative and commercial centre in 1893 when Sir Gerald Portal, a colonial Commissioner, used it as a base. Port Bell went on to become Kampala\u2019s harbour. Although no ships dock there now, there is still a jetty, which was used by Lake Victoria ferries. Entebbe is perhaps best known to Europeans as the home of Entebbe International Airport, the main international airport of Uganda, which was first opened in 1929. It was also from this airport that Queen Elizabeth II departed Africa to return to England in 1952 when she learned of her father\u2019s death and that she had become Queen.<\/p>

    Weather<\/h4>

    Entebbe features a tropical rainforest climate with relatively constant temperatures throughout the course of the year. Entebbe has noticeably wetter and drier months, with January being the city\u2019s driest month and a noticeably drier stretch from July through September. Entebbe\u2019s wettest months are April and May. Entebbe\u2019s average annual temperature is approximately 21 degrees Celsius.<\/p>

    How to Get there<\/h4>

    To get to Entebbe from the rest of the country will usually involve passing through Kampala, the country\u2019s capital city. Small minibuses go to Entebbe from Kampala and vice versa on a very regular basis. Speak to the bus conductor about the minibus fares. The journey itself can take anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours. This is all dependent on the traffic on the day.<\/p>

    Getting Around<\/h4>

    Boda-boda (Motorcycle Taxi) is the easiest choice to go around. However, boda-boda accidents are commonplace and hiring a taxi from a trusted source would be your best bet, albeit slightly more expensive.
