Moroto Nightlife

This was the best bar in town. After having several beers in Moroto I was desperate for something cold as up to now most of the beers I'd had were almost warm. I was told the best place to go was Mount Moroto Hotel but only found cool Tusker.

Thankfully the really helpful girl behind the bar in the Leslona pulled out one freezing cold Nile after another for me here one afternoon. In a hot dusty town like Moroto that’s just what you need. Either side of the bar is an Ekorete tree that during the day you could hear the fruit from the tree (Emongot) falling on to the kibati roof of the bar. I'd never seen a fruit quit like this a small fruit in a hard shell that was quite sharp to taste and had rather a large stone in the middle of it, whose kernel I was told can be extracted and ground into a flour and used like maize meal.

In the evening this place got well busy full of some smartly dressed blokes on a night out and it was mainly blokes. There was hardly a table spare.
