Uganda

Ugandan people are very friendly and hospitable. If someone stops by a home during meal time, they are expected to join the meal. This culture highly values respect, especially for elders. During meals, children are only allowed to talk if they are answering a question.

Ugandan cuisine consists of traditional meals with some English, Arab, and Indian influences. Many dishes include Ugali (a maize-meal porridge) or Chipati (an Asian flatbread), meat such as beef or goat, and seasonal vegetables.

For one of the best safaris in Africa, head out to Murchison Falls. You can camp nearby, see lions, elephants, African buffalo, giraffes, baboons, and impala. You can also take a boat up the Nile to the falls while watching hippos and crocodiles, and then get out to climb the falls.

If you are near Jinga or Lake Victoria, you can raft the Nile, go kayaking in certain areas, and go bungee jumping!

Go shopping at craft markets near tourist areas.
