Planning to arrive in Entebbe for an African safari in Uganda? Consider extending your adventure with a visit to the exquisite Pineapple Bay Resort. From Entebbe, you can take a 45-minute boat trip over the shimmering waters of beautiful Lake Victoria. Or perhaps an 8-minute helicopter ride over the waters, enjoying an aerial view of some of the 86 islands dotting the lake before you land on the private Bulago Island in southeastern Uganda’s Ssese archipelago.
Here's a detailed review of what you can expect at this deluxe resort:
Accommodation and Ambiance
A deluxe accommodation, the resort features attractive Swahili coast architecture with all the romance of Arabian Nights.
Pineapple Bay Resort has just 8 rooms for vacationers, including 6 Lake Facing Cottages standing on the water’s edge and 2 Garden Cottages at the rear side.

Experiences and Activities
Enjoy your barefoot lakeside holiday on this beautiful African tropical island at your leisure, perhaps rambling in the fertile areas along the beaches or exploring rocky crags. In the center of the island lie rolling grasslands, while the northeast section has lush rainforest that abounds with more than 200 species of avian life. Check out the safari walking trails that are free of traffic, save for a few ponies, or follow one of the paths to a hilly elevation to enjoy stunning vistas of the lake and the beauty of the island.
While the presence of crocodiles, bilharzia, and hippos make it ill-advised to swim in Lake Victoria, you can go sailing. Prebook with AfricanMecca a fishing boat for angling tours and you might just catch tilapia, Nile perch, and other freshwater fish. You could also travel to the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which can be reached by a short 30-minute boat ride. Spend some time with the resident chimpanzees with a half-day or overnight trip before making your way back to Entebbe (tours and attractions).
Dining
The resort has both indoor and beach dining areas where you can enjoy three-course meals for lunch and dinner, as well as an outdoor bar to grab a drink or two (best time to go). Dine on delicious meals cooked with fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the kitchen garden, which lies behind the resort. The resort is accommodating to your preferences; guests are invited to choose their preferred meal times and dishes. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, please inform the chef.

Important Considerations
Lake is not swimmable due to crocodiles; the beach may be covered with water for several days at times of increased lake water levels.
