City Tour with Spontaneous Lake Victoria add on!
Guides gave us a lot of useful knowledge, not only about Kampala, but about Uganda itself as well. At our request, they also managed to extend our tour and organised a quick trip to Lake Victoria, with a boat ride and an island walk. It was a great experience - definitely would recommend it to people who want to go 'off the beaten track'

Lovely exercise and exciting route
This was good exercise mixed with exciting stops on the road and a super good way to mark Kampala at the same time. The guide, Kakembo Sudais, made sure we got a lot to know about the places we stopped at and the areas we came through. To his great praise it must also be said that the pace was completely perfect - not so slow that we became impatient but at the same time neither too fast so there was time to take it all into. Really a fantastic trip and you experience in hours what you alone would spend days on - if you would even find all the places on the trip.
