Day Trips timings
They normally depart around 9:00 am or 1:00pm and return 5:00pm with a full day being
approximately 8 hours on the water and half day around 4 hours Fishing is done around local island about a 45 minute boat trip from Entebbe. The area fished will depend upon the weather and how the fish are biting . At certain time of the year the lake can be very rough with large swells and so then we tend to utilize the sheltered bay for fishing .A picnic lunch is provided with a cool box of beer , mineral water and sodas as well as tea and coffee Anglers are free to bring along additional drink required.
What to bring on board
We suggest you bring as much sun protection as possible - hats, sunglasses, creams as it can be quite hot on the lake (average day time temperatures, are in the mid to late 20 degrees C). Strops or sandals are a good idea as you may well get wet feet - especially getting on and off the boat insect repellent is a good idea. A camera if you 'd like to capture '' the big fish '' on film and a
pair of binoculars if you are keen on birdlife . Light daywear such as T shirts and short are normally fine but we recommend a rain jacket in case of bad weather and a sweater or light jacket for cooler weather and the evenings.
