A Culinary Trip Across Uganda
Do you have an inquisitive palette or are you one of those people scared to touch a new dish? This trip is not for the faint of heart. Come with me as we explore Uganda’s best delicacies. And I mean delicacies, there are quite a number depending on who you are hanging out with or which one of Uganda’s 56 tribes they belong to. You see, each tribe swears by their dish to be the best that you will ever eat! Take for instance;
Budongo Forest
Budongo Forest is one of East Africa’s largest and ecologically diverse rain forests. The Forest’s reserve covers an area of 435 km2 which is encompassed by Masindi District, the Albertine rift Escarpment and Murchison Falls Conservation Area. Previously known to be the Omukama of Bunyoro’s hunting grounds and subsequently in the colonial area a source of sawmilled hardwood timber, today, Bundongo Forest is known for harboring the second largest population of chimpanzees in Uganda and a key site for those keen on studying birds.
Budongo Forest has 2 ecotourism sites: Kaniyo Pabidi and Busingiro. Kaniyo Pabidi which is on your way to Murchison Falls offers exceptional chimpanzee trekking and habituation. Busingiro on the other hand is home to the Royal Mile, one of the top bird watching tracks in the country.
