Murchison Falls National Park A 3-day safari through Murchison Falls National Park, complete with a cruise along the Nile River, was a great way to end our 5 1/2 weeks in Africa. We went with Speke Uganda Holidays and Tony was an excellent guide (very knowledgeable on his birds & mammals while still being very personable). Access from Kampala is fairly good (a few hours drive) and the park provides an opportunity for some excellent game viewing.
Phone calls are really cheap in Uganda using a local sim card, which are available literally everywhere in Uganda from specialist shops run by the phone companies to independent mobile phone sellers to young lads on the street with a handful of brand new sims from all the phone companies.If your own phone in your home country is locked it is cheap enough to buy a phone in Uganda. MTN always seem to have offers on that include some air time as well. When I was there in May they were advertising what they called a "kaportable" phone for the equivalent of £18 similar to the one in the photo.If you have time shop around for phones and sims I found Celtel cheapest company to call with but MTN had better coverage.I was almost tempted to buy a dual sim cell phone while I was there so you can have both cards active at the same time. One guy I know has two dual sim card phones so he had a sim...
The children of Uganda are beautiful and it was a pleasure to visit with them at Humble School while on a mission trip with my church. Watching the children sing and dance, having dinner with them out in the field as dusk fell
Yeah it's very timely to book your permit around this time of the year(February) as it will be cheaper and the price increases with time and if i am not wrong, the treks are usually more in June,July and August, but i don't know the reason behind but i guess it's because thats when most tourist are out there(winter season abroad). Please visit www.naturelinksafaris.co.ug and request for more info!Bon Voyage!
Uganda is truely the Pearl of Africa as its refered to and the best expression of this is in its natural beauty! From an evergreen vegetation to a variety of wild animals , natural and fresh foods, rivers, lakes ,birds....... i can't say it all. However, it becomes hard to witness this if you are to tour the country by tour companies whose interest is profit making. My best advice is to get an individual Friend and plan ahead and tour like a visitor 'coz this way, you are not charged the same fees to visit a national park as you would if you were a tourist and you enjoy everything as though you lived there all your life! You get very cheap accomodation from some good hotels around not the big ones that are commonly refered to. I will be back with more.................... Hospitality and its beaty!Note: Like all other Mankind in the World, not everyone is Kind!, but to a great extent,...

It is possible to climb up Sororti rock but you have to get permission first. In the last few years since the rise of the LRA there are now armed arrow boys on top of Soroti rock guarding the water tank that supplies the town. If you want to climb the rock you will need to get permission from Soroti Municipal Council they have an office; if you walk from the centre of town towards the rock you won’t be a million miles away from the office. Their number is 045 61601, you will need to produce the written permission when you get near the top of the rock, a couple of cigarettes will keep the well armed arrow boys sweet.While I was climbing the rock I heard a story of when a local councillor wanted to celebrate the New Year by setting of fireworks from the top of the rock. When midnight came the fireworks were lit and the subsequent bangs and flashes caused the vervet monkeys that inhabit the...
Uganda is predominantly agricultural country, not much of industry can be seen around. It is amazingly green, not in accordance with the predjudice most of us have about Africa. I will remember it mostly because of lots of fruits around and its delicious taste. Back home I had ananas many times besause it is one of my favourite fruit, however, here in Uganda I had opportinity to enjoy in its real and original taste which cannot be compared to those we found in Europe.
Bananas are everywhere in Uganda, any little patch of green in the country usually contains at least one banana tree. So it is not surprising that the local spirits in Uganda like Waragi and Kasese are made from bananas. There are several different brands of Waragi with “Uganda waragi” being the premium brand, it’s triple distilled and goes down far too easily. I find it goes really well with Krest bitter lemon. It tends to be my drink of choice when I feel the Nile special is leaving me bloated. As well as “Uganda Waragi” there are several other brands but non are as smooth and as sweet as Uganda Wa’ while others are downright rough. Don’t expect other brands to come in bottles either, some are only available in plastic sachets or sometimes depending on the hostelry you are in, poured from a jug!Uganda Wa' now comes with a dolly proof top!!!
Beer beer we want more beer.Everybody’s cheeringget the f***ing beer in.Ugandans love a beer and unlike their near neighbours in Kenya they like it cold. After a hot sticky day walking around Kampala what could be more refreshing than a cold bottle of "Nile Special".There are 2 main bottled beer brewers in UG. Nile breweries who are based in Jinja and Uganda breweries who do their stuff in Port Bell.Nile produce Nile Special, Chairman ESB, Club and Eagle. It is possible to take a tour of the Nile breweries plant just over the river from Jinja, something I have yet to do but its pencilled for my next trip there.Uganda Breweries produce Bell, Senator, Pilsner and Guinness.
