ACTIVITIES TO DO IN KAMPALA

Head to Ggaba on the edge of Lake Victoria for a lazy weekend afternoon. Eat fresh Tilapia and chips.

Popular Kampala markets are Nakasero (fruit and veg), the maze-like Owino (everything), and Nakawa (everything).

For craft and souvenir shopping, head to Banana Boat, Buganda Road craft market or the National Theatre.

The National Theatre has a comprehensive programme of dance, drama and art.

Dive into Kampala’s art scene. Galleries include Nommo, Afriart and Umoja. The Uganda Museum has occasional art shows, in addition to historic displays.
Kampala has a vibrant nightlife. Acacia Avenue, Bugolobi and Muyenga are a few popular tourist/expat hangouts for great cappuccinos, great local beers, cocktails and dancing through the night. The industrial area has the city’s best known nightclubs: Club Silk, Guvnors and Ange Noir.

ACTIVITIES IN NORTHERN UGANDA

Bakers Lodge – Murchison Falls

Murchison Falls

Protected Area covers a range of over 4500 km². The wandering herds of elephants and towering Borassus Palms make it a stunning landscape.

Visit the Top of Murchison Falls where the Nile is forced through a narrow gap in the rock before plunging 43 metres below. The steep but short walk to the bottom of the Falls is highly recommended.

No visit to Murchison is complete without the (three hour) boat trip to the bottom of the Falls, where you will see huge Nile crocodiles, hippos and 100s of birds, including brightly-coloured Bee-eaters, Spoonbills and, occasionally, the rare Shoebill.

Kidepo Valley

North-eastern Uganda says it’s their favourite National Park. Cheetah and Ostrich are some of Kidepo’s wildlife that you can’t see in any other Ugandan park.
