On Lake Victoria’s northwestern corner are the 84 Ssese archipelago islands, most of them are very beautiful. You may take a boat ride from Kasenyi to many of these Islands, however tourist facilities are offered particularly on the islands of Banda, Bugala and Bukasa. The boat ride to Bugala which is the main administrative island at Ssese via Bukakata 3 hours drive from Kampala is very adventurous. You will board the ferry (together with your vehicle) and then drive to Kalangala where you will find a variety of accommodation facilities including budget bandas, mid-range lodge and then the luxury facilities.

Ssese Islands is ideal for those on a holiday just to rest, read some books, or relax by the beach. Actually the main tourist activity here is taking peaceful walks. For those interested in birding, this islands hosts a great diversity of brightly colored birds among which the Paradise Flycatcher and Turacos are common. You can swim in the lake although you stand a risk of contracting bilharzia. For utmost satisfaction on the Ssese Island, we recommend a 3 day and 2 night tour.
