Africancrab Says: Sipi Falls is located in Kapchorwa near Mbale district and at the edge of Mount Elgon. The Sipi River is named after the ‘Sep’, a plant indigenous to the banks of the River. Resembling a type of wild banana, Sep is a medicinal plant; the translucent green frond with a bolt...

Africancrab Says: The driving distance to Bwindi from Kampala is 550 km with some 400 km on bitumen surface via Kabale. I do recommend the route via Rukungiri, which is slightly shorter. Dare I mention this is Africa? Well, the roads are no pieces of cake either, they rock your world. Anyway,...

Rock Garden Bar & Restaurant: Kampala Nightlife
Africancrab Says: Rock Gardens is a open pub in the heart of the city, it is run by the Speke hotel management. It used to be one of my favorite nightlife spots. It does get pretty busy over the weekends, it is located right in the heart of the city center and right next to the restaurants...
Just Kicking Sports Bar: Your Choice of Drink and sports
Africancrab Says: There are famous places to hang-out in Kampala where the crowd is much more appealing and of a certain class. “Just kicking” is one of the few on the other side of town (well more like the residential, high market, diplomatic place to be. One of the co-owners of Just...

Africancrab Says: This is the one place in Kampala that is considered by the locals as the “forbidden apple”. It is a little difficult to describe Al’s bar because it is not your ordinary bar or pub nor restaurant. How do I describe this place? If you want to party till you drop dead in the...

muguruki Says: I still find it surprising the amount of saunas you see in Uganda and especially in and around Kampala. A sauna appears to be a place where the Kampalan middle class will go to straight from work before going home.Any hotel of a decent size has a sauna and a steam room. The...
