evidence: Natively known as Lake Nalubale in Uganda, Lake Victoria was named after Queen Victoria of the UK by John Hannington Speke – presumably the first European to see the lake – way back in the 1850s. I guess both Kenya and Tanzania had names for it that I am yet to find out (I will keep you posted!) [...] Lake Victoria has some of the still-maiden Islands; proper natural untapped environment that tells you a lot about how the universe looked before man. Inevitably, man is already getting to some of them but tell you what, the beauty is phenomenon. If you are chanced, with a group of friends, take that famous Ugandan boat ride to one of them; the Banda Island is one I would recommend for the weekend – You will love it! – Great camping site and activity. First time in Uganda? No worries! If you took one of those long global flights to Entebbe Airport, you could decide to relax in one of the modern hotels in Entebbe town as you ponder your next move to discover Uganda. Entebbe is right at the shores of Lake Victoria – feel free to take a stroll to the lake side and catch that lake breeze.
