If you're normal you'll need a 4x4 to get there. If you're brave like us and don't own the car your driving go ahead. A very bumpy road, we had to bail to make the car lighter a few times. A great place with lots of deadly snakes!! We had a great guide, who was a volunteer. Very informative. Highlight... More

Visited this place while in Entebbe and love the way the reptiles are taken care of. The animals are treated and well fed. The place is a bit far from the main road though.

A little off the beaten track, but well worth the effort! Great guiding, very informative, no sensational rubbish, no hassle. Very well organised and well kept and nice to see that they have more plans for the place!

There are snakes, a lizard, turtles, chameleons, crocodile and monkeys running wild. Guide very knowledgeable and friendly. length of trip is up to you. Difficult road to get here but well worthwile and as a sanctuary definitley good... More

The Reptiles Village is run by a Ugandan who is passionate about snakes in particular. He rescues reptiles that are in danger of being killed by humans, and tries his best to ‘sensitise’ people… the message is: you don’t have to kill it – it’s unlikely to harm you unless provoked. All the animals are native to Uganda and here... More

Leave the main road Entebbe-Kampala and drive up over a sometimes bad road to URV. Fixed prices (15000UGX) and very enthusiastic guys (and girls) will show you around. Lots of snakes, nice stories. It all looks just good. Everywhere you can see that they are working hard on expanding the activities here. Working on waterways and already you can hire... More

Our trip to Uganda came up on very short notice that allowed for very little planning. Once in Entebbe, I learned that I would have a much better time if I relaxed and resisted my Western preconceptions regarding the size and quality of attractions and facilities. I don't actually recall what we paid to get in, but the drive along... More

This Reptile Village is located in Abaita Ababiri (3 kms off the Kigali-Entebbe Road). A very poor muddy track leads to this place. Although they call it a REPTILE village but there are only Snakes available except a Lizard and few Turtles. I called the person in charge on mobile and he told me that the ticket for this village...
