Flights to Uganda

 

 

 

Most eateries serving Ugandan cuisine are along Entebbe's Kampala Road. Savoury dishes come with hearty matooke, mashed green bananas. Try muchomo (grilled meat) or malakwang, lemony spinach in peanut sauce. Tilapia fish is fried whole, or cooked in tomato stew, and lumombo (chicken stew) is cooked in banana leaves. For international food, especially South Indian dishes, head for Kampala.

 

Get Out

Locals love to go fishing and picnicking at the vast Lake Victoria, with swimming in small doses. Island hopping is possible at the nearby group of Sesse Islands, while Kampala's Indian Quarter is great for wandering the old streets.

 

New Perspective

For real local flavour in the evenings, eat muchomo (grilled meat) outside the bars on Kampala Road, with a chilled bottle of local beer.

 

Spend

Recreate a national park in your living room with miniature carved wooden animals from craft shops. Buy hats, bags and even clothes made from surprisingly soft tree bark in distinctive tan. Buy a bag of strong coffee from local plantations, and batik wall hangings at the popular Kitoro Market on Tuesdays.
