Botanical Gardens
We spent a wonderful afternoon in the Entebbe Botanical Gardens recently with the MCC SALTer who was spending the weekend with us. The beautiful landscaped gardens were established about 1900 and include many native and imported trees and plants. It is located on the shores of Lake Victoria. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide who explained the various trees and fruits, identified numerous birds, and showed us a variety of plants used for medicinal purposes. There are two types of resident monkeys—the black and white colobus and the black faced vervet monkey.
We did not have a pencil and paper so, of course, we don’t remember the information—even though we found it fascinating! So this blog will just have many photos with little explanation. Also the photos do not do justice to the beauty. (And we don’t have photos of the beautiful birds we saw — kingfishers and hornbills for example — black-and-white-casqued hornbill and pied kingfisher.)
