Benefit For Solo Travelers To Uganda

Travelling solo worldwide is not something many people opt for on travels or holidays. Solo travel is not even considered as an option because people think of it as being boring, lonely and unsafe. But people forget that it can be one of the most rewarding forms of travel. People have traveled with friends and family for years and have not yet realized the benefits of traveling alone.

Worldwide solo travelers are on the increase and this also applies to Uganda. Though this means more money that will be spent, it also means that you have all the freedom in the world to satisfy your interests at your on will and might.

This is one of the advantages of solo travel in Uganda. This country being a tourist destination, it makes perfect sense to a solo travel; you will make very good friends and meeting up other new people. You can also team up with other travel buddies and this in itself will lead to expanding of your travel plans. For example you can hear about the world’s strongest water fall, the source of the world’s longest river, or viewing the climbing lions of Ishasha sector in Queen Elizabeth national park. If this wasn’t originally on your plan, you can easily adjust according to your budget and available time.

When travelling solo, you are always open to change and you will welcome it with your arms wide open. This is different from a group travel because it’s more difficult in adjust to new changes and agenda. Here you follow your desire and thus flexibility is often assured.

Travelling alone in Uganda also challenges your insecurities and fears. Uganda is the best opportunity for you and this is because its people are very welcoming. In the past years it was dubbed one of the most welcoming countries in the world and this should boost your confidence and downplay your fears while travelling in this beautiful country.

Once you’re done with this adventure you will be proud of your self. Uganda as a destination that will always let you know that fear shouldn’t control your life because it is home away from home. But you must know that fear is normal and perfectly human.

Your solo drive in Uganda will give the opportunity for you to make new friends. Though many people don’t enjoy putting themselves out there to strangers because of cultural differences and rigidities. But what’s different about Uganda is that people are more than willing to associate and help whenever you are in need  and also be friends therefore it is up to you to choose what type of friends that you always want.

The pearl of Africa is also the perfect place for you to connect with yourself. Uganda as a country is blessed with so many cultures and this can be the perfect way for you to learn new cultures and different ways of living by yourself. One of the important benefits for solo traveling is self – reflection, on how better you want to live your life, what you hate about yourself, what you want in life and what you don’t want, among others.

Uganda is generally not that expensive although travelling alone may seem quite costly, than when in a group. Uganda is the perfect destination for you because you certainly have no one to impress other than yourself. The country is a haven for wildlife, both flora and fauna, and a notable home for mountain gorillas (shelters half of the total world’s population), the Big 5 mammals, over 1500 bird species (more than any other country in East Africa).

Lunch Anyone? Cafe Platinum

It’s lunchtime. You’re downtown, hungry and only have an hour. Where should you go? IN KAMPALA has a mystery diner roving the streets reviewing lunch joints to help you decide…

Café Platinum is for those with energy and determination. First, it’s housed in an unassuming location, behind Christ the King Catholic church on Colville Street, and could easily be missed. Second, it’s situated on the third floor which, in the case of this building, means climbing seven sets of stairs. However, those who do reach the rooftop restaurant will be rewarded with some great panoramic views of the city while they lunch.

Given its location behind the church, lunch time customers could be forgiven for thinking that they were in the back rows of the 1:00pm Mass which is fully audible in the restaurant. Tables are arranged under a canopy and alternative seating is available inside, although these are squeezed and something like dining in a corridor.

Café Platinum’s menu is surprisingly extensive. Open for breakfast there are options ranging from katogo at 4,000 UGX to continental/English breakfast at 12,000 UGX. A rare menu item is decaffeinated coffee at 6,000 UGX hardly ever is on offer. For lunch/dinner, the ‘African corner’ on the menu offers interesting twists on traditional nyama choma, in additional to vegetarian options, and international dishes. Pineapple features heavily on the menu surprisingly finding its way into many selections.

Although set up with tables and burners for buffet there was no lunch buffet on offer. The large bbq grill in the centre of the rooftop is only lit in the evening, rendering much of the menu off-limits for lunch. All of this and the presence of a well-stocked bar and flat screen point to Café Platinum as being more of an after work and evening venue. Given the good nyama choma menu we might be better off recommending you come to the rooftop after work to watch football with a cold beer and beef muchomo. The restaurant is open until 10:30 pm.

An apparent victim of UMEME’s daytime load shedding, the food took over an hour to arrive, which makes it a less suitable spot to grab a quick bite if you have to be back at the office in a timely way. When it did arrive, the food was thoughtfully presented – but the sautéed beef seemed to be boiled rather than sautéed. The goat muchomo was well flavoured but tough. The chapatti, however, accompanying the muchomo, may be a contender for the best in Kampala.

While not the best option for those in a lunch rush Café Platinum but could be your next choice for a BBQ spot after work with colleagues while keeping an eye on the poor people in the traffic jams below.

Fun Things For Kids at Wonder World

For a decade, Kampala citizens have had a weekend experience that can include the whole family. This came about with the introduction of Wonder World Amusement Park in Kansanga. Before, the few options included taking the family out to a soccer game with programmes like the Totos or Kampala Kids League.

Wonder World started out as Didi’s World. It is an amusement park in every sense of the word. Unlike other efforts before, such as the Egyptian travelling circus or a small business holding with dangerously squeaking swings and slides, Wonder World has brought the amusement park to Kampala.

For the last 10 years, families have made it a date to go to Wonder World during the weekend or school holiday. On any given Saturday the place is a whirlwind of activity with squealing children riding the slides and calling out their excitement.

The park is huge. It has a movie theatre and a theatre auditorium, which are a draw any time during the week since many clients come calling for conference space or for other such meetings. They have boasted of having East Africa’s largest auditorium, although this is debatable.

Visitors to the park are struck by the sense of bigness and full on fun at the gates. Ornately decorated and perhaps sometimes bordering on the extreme, it is one intriguing design after another right from the entrance to the end. No matter if it is rides or sitting and meeting spaces, details go into everything.

The foyer, the main meeting space, used to be rented out by universities to sit large numbers of students during examinations, giving you a sense of how expansive it is.

At the park, families are familiar with the Polipo octopus ride, a Chinese made contraption that has served for years as Wonder World’s biggest draw. Children around town, when they try to get their parents to take them there many times say they want to go on the Polipo. Others include the Pirate Ship and the different types of swings.

There are over 30 games and slides at Wonder World with children often spoilt for choice on what to choose. Between the bouncy castles, clowns, go-karts, water slides, bumper cars and many other attractions, for children full of energy, it is a delight. For parents, it can result in a child that is so exhausted, they actually go to bed without a fuss.

Getting in is easy because all you have to do is pay the entrance fee of 10,000 UGX, get checked at the security point then everything you decide to do thereafter is up to you. This is the price for each individual. School groups have a package where the first 10 pupils and their teacher enter for free.

Other attractions at the park include comedy nights every Friday evening (8pm) for which one pays 5,000 UGX and dramas in the theatre at 5,000 UGX over the weekend. These are also at 8pm.

The park has a number of restaurants where snacks and food are served. Drinks can also be accessed as there is a bar, for those looking for liquor or just pop for the children. Prices range from 5,000 UGX for a plate of food or fries and goat meat. The prices can go as high as 15,000 UGX for the different spirits on sale.

Face painters and those selling different items have prices in the range of 5,000 UGX to 10,000 UGX.

To get to Wonder World from Kampala City, get on the Kansanga, Bunga, Ggaba matatu in the Old Park. This will cost you about 1500 UGX. Just as you enter Kansanga, past the International University of East Africa campus, you will be at Wonder World. It is on a road called Soweto Road.
