Good Bye Africa









We have now come to the end of our trip to Uganda. In Kampala we stayed at Le Petit Village hotel. It was a lovely little bit of luxury after our trip, we intended to use the pool but never got round to it. The room was lovely and the hotels restaurant was very good. We met a friendly Texan, who told us about the hotels he had in a couple of countries.
Kampala is a very busy city and there is so much to look at. Newcastle United were playing Sunderland, so we left the hotel to find a bar that was playing the game. We found a little one with a few locals in it who were all pleased to watch the game. They all became fans of Newcastle to support Andy. Luckily Newcastle won, so there was lots of cheering. We bought a round of drinks for our new friends to celebrate the win.
Our trip through the airport was hassle free, we were searched outside the airport and inside, but no difficulties. This is when we saw all the Americans with their huge drums, so we had absolutely no worries about ours. The wait for boarding seemed so long and it was very humid and stuffy. We were relieved when we could finally board. A very lucky passenger near us on the plane was upgraded to first class because he knew one of the cabin crew.
We had a great trip to Uganda and it was a very good choice for our introduction to Africa. We would definitely recommend a trip to Uganda. Very friendly people, great professional service from African Jungles Safaris, amazing animals and an all round enjoyable trip.

We stayed at Le Petit Village, $170 for a double suite
