Things to Do  

Swim

Swim, Mbarara

 muguruki Says:  The Lake View Hotel swimming pool is open to non-residents I think I paid 5,000. I was also told Rwizi Arch has a pool but the one at Lake View is supposedly better. The LVH is a tad out of town in the area past Rwebekona. I'm sure it gets its name because the area is on a...

Organic restaurant: Little gem of a place

Organic restaurant: Little gem of a place, Mbarara

 muguruki Says:  Little gem of a place. I ate here on my last day in Mbarara and was tempted to stay another night just so I could have a meal at this fine eating establishment. Think of Ugandan food then think of it with more taste rather than the bland stodge that can be served up in an...

Mbarara Nightlife: Beer and Dancing

Mbarara Nightlife: Beer and Dancing, Mbarara

 muguruki Says:  The place to go to in Mbarara town for nightlife is Bananuka Rd. On this street there are a few bog standard bars such as Sabs Guest house bar, a couple of quite impressively large places to go if you want to dance the night away such as Another life Disco and Vision Empire...
