WHAT ELSE CAN I DO IN UGANDA?

The staff at the Kabubbu Resort and Conference Centre can help you arrange any additional travel in Uganda at the end of your time in Kabubbu. You will need to make your own travel plans, arrangements and payments directly with them. Their email address appears below.

Kabubbu is in central southern Uganda near Gayaza and Kasangati.

In the south-west at the border with Rwanda there are the mountain gorillas.

To the west, the Queen Elizabeth National Park (for safari), the Ruwenzori National Park with stunning mountains and Murchinson Falls National Park's spectacular waterfalls and safari in the northwest.

To the south there is Kampala, the capital, with its modern city bustle and sights and the Tomb of the Kings (currently closed for repair after a disasterous fire), Lake Victoria with the Ssese Islands (84 islands) and lake fishing for the mighty Nile Perch.

To the east there is the Source of the Nile at Jinja for fishing and lake tours, white-water rafting and quad biking a little further up the Nile from Jinja where you can even do a bungee jump over the Nile!

With ten National Parks and many historical sites there's a lot to be explored. So you need to make plenty of time available.

For bird watchers there are 1,008 species, hundreds of which the European ornithologist may never have seen before, including 150 East African birds only ever seen in Uganda. The Crested Crane is Uganda's national emblem.

And, of course, you can stand with your feet either side of the equator and see if the water goes different ways down the plughole to the north and south of it.

You can be assured that every day will bring you a new experience - an education not to be missed!
