Uganda

Hi Everyone,

I`ll take the night bus from Nairobi to Kampala tomorrow.

I would recommend the Boomu stay, it was one of the highlights of my trip . It is a women's community group which is really offering a great service and helping their village trough tourism. We stayed in quaint and clean individual Bandas , with outside toilets and cold water showers . It was very cheap 20000 USH if I…
