Ngamba island is home to a variety of plants and tree species, wild water and forest bird species, beautiful but unique reptile species such as snakes and lizard varieties plus a beautiful lake scenery all available to make your safari a great.

Anyone who visits this magnificent island will quickly notice that the tour begins the moment you arrive at Pelican Lodge and Marina in Entebbe. Here, you are greeted by the sight of playful monkeys roaming freely and the melodic songs of birds, creating a delightful atmosphere that enhances the beauty of the surroundings.

There are only 2 shifts in which the boats cruise visitors to the island-the 9-10 and the 12-1pm (local time) setting off. It is therefore important you book in advance to avoid missing out because only a few visitors are allowed, each person is charged $150 including a tour in zoo.
