Sara & Adrian’s updates

We’ve  just spent several fascinating weeks travelling round Uganda (mainly by public transport) & have enjoyed the experience & using the guide. Below are a few thoughts/comments/recommendations: edition. 1. Re minibus-taxis, I’d say that the law of 3 passengers per row is strictly enforced in Kampala but did not find that to be the case [...]

Trip report from James & Bonita

We really enjoyed Uganda. Its eemed a cheerful helpful place and my son really had a chance to play with local children here and enjoy himself. It is certainly harder going in terms of roads and facilities than the Southern part of Kenya, but frankly we didn’t find that an issue and instead relished the [...]

Nature’s Prime, Bunyonyi

We stayed at the Nature’s Prime on lake Bunyonyi. It’s decent and the staff is friendly. Mind however that the prices are negotiable so ask about the price while booking. You should get at least the price they quote on their website. Also be careful if you want to take a boat ride. They start [...]

Lodging recommendations

We recently returned from one month traveling in Uganda and we want to recommend two places we stayed in: Tuhede safari lodge – Kampala – we stayed for 8 nights in 3 times. A very friendly and homey guesthouse. The rooms are convenient and clean. Above everything is the staff, which were very friendly and helpful [...]

Kisoro & Lake Bunyonyi

Page 250 Nukuringo Safari Lodge. Not changed all that much since my first visit in 2003 when it was called Mgahinga SL.  There is a road/track off the hill now to the Lodge grounds. The ‘Tents’ have glass doors so appear lighter inside when closed off. Our Tent was on a slope so we had [...]

Kabale & Lake Bunyonyi

Road from Masaka to Kabale, reasonable with stretches with potholes, just under 4 hours. Lake Bunyonyi, beautiful and very special. Crater Bay Cottages email: craterbay@yahoo.com, www.traveluganda.co.ug/crater-bay-cottages, friendly staff, neat, clean and comfortable bandas (65,000), good location, no noise from Overland camp. Should have stayed longer. Bushara Island Camp. We were impressed with this set up. [...]
