Ssese Islands

An archipelago of 84 forested islands in Lake Victoria, the Ssese chain offers secluded sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and laid-back village life. Island-hopping by boat reveals pineapple plantations, mangrove forests and fishing communities where you can learn traditional net-casting techniques. Rustic beachfront bandas, yoga classes at sunrise and local boat cruises to spot fish eagles make Ssese a perfect retreat for relaxation and cultural immersion.
