Where
to pitch camp in Uganda
---------------------------------------------
Uganda is a friendly place to be; camping can be fun in most
areas especially in the south where there will be no hassles. There
are some tips which may prove useful to you especially if you are
not the hardy type of visitor.
* Take along a First Aid kit with the usual essentials,
sterile needles and syringes.
* Be aware of any environmental impact your visit may cause. You
may use a little fuel wood for charcoal grilling your food for example
as long as you do not start fires. A little kerosene may also be
used in cooking, but make sure that all the litter that is going
to be left behind is properly buried. Uganda suffers from a big
environmental problem caused by polythene materials (kaveera). Minimise
a use of them since they are non-biodegradable.
* It is good to have a good water purifying system with you. In
case you have tablets, they will be handy. Otherwise, Uganda's river
and lake water is fresh enough to be boiled. Most water in Uganda
is tasty so boiling will not remove any of the mineral taste.
* Park regulations insist that you drive in before 1800 hours. Driving
at night is prohibited
*Uganda is a land of courteous people, so be considerate of other
people by avoiding the playing of loud music for example.
* When walking through any area used the existing trails, otherwise
you encourage the widening of paths which can destroy the fragile
environment. Click
