An archipelago of 84 forested islands in northwestern Lake Victoria, reached by ferry from Entebbe or Masaka. Buggala, the largest island, has sandy beaches, palm-lined shores, and low-key lodges favored by weekenders from Kampala. Days revolve around swimming, fishing trips, and forest walks with vervet monkeys.
