Where to stay in Kampala

The hotel may not have been the best, but the structure of its floors was fascinating. So was the food. After all, this is where I fell for the Ugandan pineapples! I adored the swimming pool and the view over Kampala, beautiful both at sunset and at sunrise! #waterlust http://blog.inreperta.com/2018/02/uganda-si-locuitorii-ei-minune.html

Do not drive yourself! No stop signs or traffic lights. There us a very definite set of informal rules of the road. He who hesitates is lost. It is intimidating plys right hand drive.
