Kampala Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Here's a mix of other things that I saw in Kampala, including folk dancing, a Hindu temple, the electoral commission headquarters and the city undergoing a major rainstorm. As it turns out the day before I went past the electoral commission headquarters there was a riot in response to the appointment of a new head of elections where a few protes...

This weekend was all about getting to experience a piece of Buganda tradition. Mayega Vincent, a good friend, was to be introduced or traditionally wed. This ceremony is called kwanjula. Basically, kwanjula is the day the bride-to-be introduces her future husband (and all the many people who escort him) to her parents and relatives. A kwanjula i...

L'avion n'avait pas encore touché le sol que je sentais déjà la différence. 90 minutes avaient suffi pour passer, au sein d'un même continent, de l'exception culturelle éthiopienne au coeur des ténèbres (ou quasi). Je quittais les visages café au lait, la fraicheur des hauts plateaux, les croix orthodoxes d'un pays à cheval entre le Rift et le M...

INTERNET PROBLEMATIC - CANNOT UPLOAD PHOTOS 1 GBP = USH 3,400 Second day in Uganda, today we actually have a mission. From the entrance on the street we wait for a Moda Moda to drive by. A moda moda is a motorcycle taxi, which is the only way to travel in Kampala because of the massive traffic jams. We ask him to take us to the UWA, which is bet...

It was a weekend of playing with kids for Emily and I. Friday night our land lady stopped by and brough Emily and I a snack. Something I had sworn I would never try when I first arrived, a Ugandan delicacy... fried grasshoppers! They went down okay, and tasted like some combination of chicken skin and shrimp. But about an hour later my stomach d...

I had a lie in on Sat morning, before walking down to Nansana (couldnt be bothered to go into Kampala) to use the internet. When I got home I really felt like cooking so I swapped with Karen and Emily (we have a rota) and started to make pizza! I'd got some yeast last week, so made loads of dough and watched it rise- it like quadrupled in size! ...

When we last wrote we were headed from Mbeya to Dar es Salaam. In another installment of "getting there is half the fun," we passed on the 9-hour bus ride and opted instead for a 29-hour rail odyssey that wound through a national park, affording views from the '50's style dining car of grazing giraffes, lumbering elephants and various antelopey ...

I decided not to live with the high rollers since 1) i am not going to pay $900 a month just because there are so many NGOs here that pay that and 2) the reason I am here is to learn about the people- the way the live, work and think. I am really enjoying our new place-- especially since we now have electricity and hot water (Tuesday the 28th)
