Top Local Tips for Kampala

The REAL Uganda I have travelled extensively in Uganda and feel that the true beauty of Uganda is outside the cities. The further you into rural areas the more beautiful the landscape begins... The drive upto Queen Elizabeth National Park and beyond is where you will see Uganda's natural bounty in all its splendour. So try and get out of Kampala and see the real Uganda. the rolling hills covered with picturesque tea plantations, the banana plantations on the hills beyond Jinja are places that are really beautiful.

Rain is Unpredtictable Take a mac with you in a back pack as it can be sunshine then heavy rains as we found out the hard & wet way. Don't wave at cars as it is the Ugandan culture to stop, offer a lift then charge you even if they are not a taxi service. Ugandans dont show facial expressions but as soon as you say hello and smile then you will get the warmest greeting you could hope for.
