When choosing what to eat and where, the hygiene matters a lot. However, there are many dishes for you to try out-local and international.
Don’t take pictures anyhow
While a trip without photography can be boring, taking pictures in some areas is restricted. That is why you need to know where to do it and not to do it. However, for the most amazing pictures, ensure you have a good camera and if you plan to go for gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park or chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest National Park, Budongo Forest Reserve, Kyambura Gorge or any part of Uganda, ensure your camera doesn’t have a flashlight and if it does, please turn it off before taking pictures of these apes.
