Uganda 2 weeks- where to go ?

Country forums / Africa / Uganda

Hi there,

We are travelling to Uganda for 2 weeks in Dec

Does anybody have any tips or recommendations of the best places to go?Or the order to do them in ?

Anyone been on the red chilli tour to murchison falls? good /not good?

Thanks in advance any help greatly appreciated... very excited about going....

Red chilli Much falls is very good... you could do it all on your own but it would take days longer.

Other than that, I really reccomend lake Bunyoni and SW Uganda.

Not to miss:
1. Jinja, incl its rafting
2. Gorillas (maybe hop over to Kigali for that one)
3. Sipi and surroundings
4. Murchison
5. Kampala nightlife (some big concerts planned as well: Beenie Man, R Kelly (bwah) and Shaggy - all in next three weeks)
6. Kidepo, driving. But that takes a week back and forth.

Possible:
Queen Elizabeth (although less rated than Murchison for me)

What I do not understand the fuzz about:
"Lake Bunyonyi": its a lake and nothing more. Some funky backpacker places there, but that's it.
