Uganda & Rwanda: Kampala, rafting the Nile, mountain gorillas, and Kigali (2019)
Navigating the hustle and bustle of urban Kampala - the epitome of East Africa's population explosion.
Grade 5 whitewater rafting on the white Nile - the most extreme rapids a non-professional can go on.
Trekking with mountain gorillas in their natural habitat - only 1,000 left in the world, all are only found in this region (border of Uganda, Rwanda, and the DR Congo), and can only be seen in the wild as they cannot be kept in captivity. Exploring Rwanda's capital, Kigali - incredibly clean and much more modern than most may think. No wonder they call it the 'Singapore of Africa'. Then had a lay-over in actual Singapore on the way back.
Tips:
East Africa:
-bring plenty of USD, tours and hotels give discounts
-there's security checkpoints everywhere (malls, hotels etc)
-powerbanks, mosquito repellent
-be prepared to do your own laundry
-need Yellow Fever vaccination certificate to get in/out of many countries
Kampala:
-get around on SafeBoda motorbike taxis (don't even need to download app just flag them down)
-central/Gadafi mosque for good view of city
-Bahai temple worth visit (only 7 in world), don't let you take photos/videos though
-walk around old Kampala in morning, try 'rolex with 2 eggs' for breakfast
-The Lawns Wild Game BBQ restaurant for all sorts of game meat
-Acacia mall for modern shopping needs
Rafting on Jinja:
-highly highly recommend grade 5 full day extreme rafting at
-So well organised and beyond the adrenalin, the Nile scenery is stunning
-bring sunscreen with you - there's another boat where they'll store it for you
-actually, wear long sleeves as you get sun burned so much
-water is slow on many parts of the Nile so expect lots of rowing!
Gorilla tour in Bwindi Impenetrable national park:
-went with Monkey Adventures ($1.3k USD) for 3 day tour (day 1 mostly drive from Kampala to Bwindi area, day 2 gorilla trek, day 3 Bunyonyi lake and drive back)
-I arranged to get driven to Kigali (quite close to Kabale, near gorilla area) instead of back to Kampala
-wear gum boots, bring rain coat
-there's chance you won't get to see gorillas, in that case they offer you to come back next day for free so keep next day free just in case
Kigali:
-get around on motorbike taxis, very safe and they quote fair price. city is small so good to walk too
-start with genocide memorial, makes you appreciate how fast and far the country has transformed since
-rooftop bar on top of Ubumwe Grand Hotel
-Shokola storytellers cafe behind Kigali library
-convention centre nice in early evening
-try fish tacos at The Hut

Hotel Review: Lodges by Marasa, Uganda
AJAY JAIN
When you are out travelling, the place you stay can have a big impact on your overall experience. Especially when you are out in the wild in Uganda.
During my recent visit to the country, I stayed at four lodges run by Marasa Africa( It is impressive how a brand can maintain high standards and boast the best of locations for all its properties. There is an old world charm to all their properties, a welcome change from the technology-driven, fast-paced lives that we lead. How would I review their offerings? Here goes…
LOCATIONS
* Paraa Safari Lodge - Murchison Falls National Park
* Chobe Safari Lodge - Murchison Falls National Park
* Silverback Lodge - Bwindi ImpenetrableNational Park
* Mweya Safari Lodge - Queen Elizabeth National Park
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE SETTINGS OF MARASA’S LODGES?
You cannot beat Marasa here. The lodges are all either inside or overlooking forests teeming with wildlife. Surrounded by mountains, lakes and rivers, these properties can be destinations in themselves. Paraa and Chobe lie on the banks of the Nile river full of hippos; in case of Chobe, they can often be spotted crossing hotel lawns and even grazing by the poolside in the evenings. The Silverback lodge overlooks the hilly Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to the endangered Mountain Gorillas. Mweya stands on a hill along the Kazinga channel teeming with birdlife, elephants, hippos, crocodiles and many other species.
THE SERVICE
Ugandans come across as very hospitable people, especially those employed at Marasa. The staff is highly efficient in addressing anything that guests require, and always serve you with a smile. They know how to make your stay pleasure and memorable.
DESIGN AND QUALITY OF THE ROOMS
All of Marasa’s lodges have well laid out and comfortable rooms; the housekeeping is of the highest standards. Everything feels clean, fresh and hygienic.
While Silverback has simple yet comfortable rooms, other lodges can spoil you with different categories of rooms including suites. You could stay in luxury tents at Paraa or even the Queen’s Cottage - this was built specially for a visit by Queen Elizabeth in the 1970s.
FOOD
The chefs at Marasa love their job and know a thing or two about cooking. They can pamper and spoil you with the daily spreads - and even cook to your specific tastes and needs. They are adept at many cuisines - local, European, Italian, Chinese and Indian. And yes, I loved the coffees and the cakes.
GAME DRIVE EXPERIENCE WITH MARASA
You stay in a jungle lodge for the game drives - your hosts have to ensure they are good at this service. Marasa comes up tops here. They have a team of fine naturalists who know the jungles and the ways of its inhabitants well. No one can guarantee any sightings but they do their best in showing you around. They have their own vehicles and drivers that makes for a consistent experience.
