Watch a match at Old Trafford!

Watch a match at Old Trafford!, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  Not the Old trafford Stadium. Well It is actually a video hall that shows Chuck Norris films as well as footie games 

Drink Marua

Drink Marua, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  They love a drink in this neck of the woods and if you walk around the market you will find its is predominantly women in town (I guess most of their men folk are out cattle rustling) so it must be the women that do most of the drinking. There is one side of town to the east... 

Hotels  

Mount Moroto Hotel: Nothing special

Mount Moroto Hotel: Nothing special, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  I never stayed here but when I reached the place for a drink one day I was disapointed in the service and the warm beer. Also at the state of the leaking toilet near the bar. I was told that a single room her cost 51,000 ugx The Hotel is situated in a really nice spot away... 

Gulona: Better than it first appeared

Gulona: Better than it first appeared, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  Certainly not the best place in town but when a workshop / conference is in a town of the size of Moroto you can't be too fussy. A lot of the other places were full, The Leslona only had one room left and that was 61,000 which is well over my budget. Moon Guest House was... 

Restaurants  

Bamburi Food Bank: Local scran

Bamburi Food Bank: Local scran, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  Similar to, but possibly less choice than the Friends Hotel/Restaurant. 

Friends Restaurant

Friends Restaurant, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  Not a great deal of choice in Moroto town on the old restaurant front. there were always nice smells coming from the restaurant at Leslona but was cclosed to the general public when i was there as there was a conferance that seemed to take up almost the whole hotel.The chips... 

Nightlife  

Leslona Hotel Bar: Best bar in town

Leslona Hotel Bar: Best bar in town, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  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... 

Wyspa: night club

Wyspa: night club, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  As I was standing outside my guest house on a Sunday at four in the morning a steady stream of people were staggering up the street and home from Wyspa's night club. I was honestly surprised to find out in that in a town of Morotos size and at this end of the country such a... 

Transportation  

Journey to Moroto

Journey to Moroto, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  There is a Gateway bus that goes directly from Kampala to Moroto. It must leave I guess at around 6 in the morning because it doesn't reach Soroti till around 11:45 in the morning as that is when I fought my way on board the overcrowded bus.As well as the bus to Moroto, at... 

Shopping  

Beneath the big tree in the main drag: Stools 'R' us

Beneath the big tree in the main drag: Stools 'R' us, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  In the centre of the main drag in Moroto there is a large tree and underneath this tree during daytime you will see a few blokes selling wooden stools of various sizes. I always fancied one of the small stools that you see Karamojong and Turkana blokes walking around with... 

Moroto market: What an experience!

Moroto market: What an experience!, Moroto

 muguruki Says:  Love the market and surrounding area here in Moroto. Not really for the things to buy but for the colourfulness and friendliness of the buyers and sellers in the market. It was not only that I'm white that made me stand out in the market but I was possibly one of the few...

 Not the easiest place to get to but well worth the effort. This was my second visit to Karamoja after visiting Nakapiripirit some years ago and this trip to the north east was as memorable as that...
