Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa

Lake Victoria Serena

If you are looking for a touch of luxury and calm after your flight or before your Uganda safari, Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa is a perfect choice. This beautiful resort combines world-class comfort with breathtaking views of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake. Located just 20 minutes from both Entebbe and Kampala, it’s an ideal place for travelers who want easy access to the airport, Uganda’s capital, and the lake’s natural beauty — all in one place.

A World-Class Resort on the Shores of Lake Victoria

Lake Victoria Serena is part of Serena Hotels, a well-known company that manages many of Africa’s finest lodges and hotels. This resort was designed to feel like an Italian hillside village, with pastel-colored buildings, winding pathways, and lush green gardens that gently slope toward the lake and marina. From the moment you arrive, the grand entrance makes an impression — with graceful arches, colorful mosaics, and elegant balconies overlooking the water. Everything here feels peaceful, luxurious, and perfectly maintained.

Convenient Location Between Entebbe and Kampala

The resort sits on the shores of Lake Victoria, about 20 minutes’ drive from Entebbe International Airport. This makes it a perfect base for visitors arriving in Uganda or preparing to leave. It’s also just 20 minutes from Kampala, Uganda’s lively capital city. The resort is easy to reach by road, and future plans aim to connect it directly to the Entebbe–Kampala Expressway, which will make travel even faster and smoother. Guests who stay here enjoy the best of both worlds — peaceful lakeside views and easy access to the cultural and business hubs of Entebbe and Kampala.

Elegant Rooms and Suites

Lake Victoria Serena offers a total of 124 beautifully furnished rooms and suites, designed for both comfort and elegance. The warm colors, soft lighting, and lake views create a relaxing atmosphere from the moment you enter. The rooms are spread across small villa-style buildings surrounded by gardens, giving a quiet, village-like feel. You can choose from three main categories:

1. Standard Rooms

These are bright and spacious, featuring a queen-size or twin beds, a sitting area, a desk, and a private balcony with views of the gardens or lake. Each room includes air conditioning, a minibar, tea and coffee facilities, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a safe, and a stylish marble bathroom.

2. Executive Rooms

These offer everything in the Standard Rooms, plus extra space, a larger sitting area, and two balconies for even better views. They’re great for guests who want more privacy or are staying for longer periods.

3. Presidential Suites

For the ultimate luxury, the two Presidential Suites on the penthouse level are truly stunning. Each one includes a king-size bed, a private living room, dining room, kitchen, and a small meeting or event room. There’s even space for staff accommodation. These suites have won Uganda’s Leading Hotel Suite at the World Travel Awards for several years — a sign of their exceptional quality and comfort.

If you are looking for a touch of luxury and calm after your flight or before your Uganda safari, Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa is a perfect choice.

Activities and Things to Do

1. Enjoy the Lake

Lake Victoria itself offers great opportunities for fishing, boat cruises, and wildlife watching. You may spot hippos, otters, and a variety of colorful birds along the shores. Sunset cruises are especially popular for their peaceful atmosphere and stunning views.

2. Visit Entebbe’s Botanical Gardens

A short drive away, the Botanical Gardens are home to exotic plants, monkeys, and birds like the hornbill and Marabou stork. It’s a beautiful place to walk, relax, or enjoy a picnic.

3. Visit the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC)

Also known as the Entebbe Zoo, this is a sanctuary for rescued animals such as lions, leopards, chimpanzees, and giraffes. It’s an educational and inspiring experience for both adults and children.

4. Take a Trip to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary

You can take a boat trip across the lake to Ngamba Island, where more than 50 rescued chimpanzees live in a safe and natural environment. Watching them up close is an unforgettable experience.

5. Birdwatching at Mabamba Swamp

For bird lovers, Mabamba Swamp is one of the best places in Africa to see the rare shoebill stork. Local guides can take you through the wetlands in a canoe for a peaceful and scenic tour.
