Uganda Reptiles Village
A small reptile conservation centre north of Entebbe where you can see Gabon vipers, cobras, and Nile crocodiles up close.
The Uganda Reptile Village is a small conservation centre near Bwerenga, north of Entebbe, focused on rescue and education. It is home to Gabon vipers, black mambas, cobras, pythons, chameleons, tortoises, and Nile crocodiles. Guides explain how to identify the region’s common venomous snakes and how to give first aid for bites, and some non-venomous snakes can be handled. The centre is small, so a visit takes about an hour. Admission includes a guided tour. From the city centre it is about 20 minutes by boda-boda or hired car, and the last stretch is a dirt road that turns muddy in the rainy season.
