us begin with an important point: the card is usable Mastercard Uganda. Stanbic bank has dealers who accept it in all cities. They say, because it is info we have not managed to find online. Even the Mastercard website does not mention it. For Visa, there are dealers everywhere. For MasterCard, it's Stanbic Bank.

Tourism in Uganda is much less developed in Tanzania. There are some parks, but much less developed than Kilimanjaro and Serengeti. There's the famous walk with gorillas, or p o the modest sum of U.S. $ 750 you can spend 1 hour near the monkeys. Genial, spend the money to spend 60 minutes with the animals, while people at the roadside are 2 years to earn it. So horrible tourism does exist, but fortunately for us, it is not massive. Apart from Jinja, where are the sources of the White Nile, Uganda is not a tourist country, not at all, and that's its charm.

The homes are cheap: 30000 Ush per night in hotel Astoria Kampala (Ush for Ugandan Shilling). The room is huge, with nice bathroom and hot water. The staff is adorable. At Jinja, we pay Ush 20,000 for rooms shabby and noisy, because there was a bar next to the street. In Mbale, we pay Ush 18,000 for a room very correct. The Green Top Kumi 26000Ush is wonderful for the night, the KSB Gulu also, for 22,000 Ush. Only the last two included breakfast.

transport are also cheap, even if the bus drivers are the only Ugandan seek scam. The 10,000 Ush per person departing on the border of Tanzania became 13000 on arrival in Kampala. Ush posters for the 4000 Kampala-Jinja turn in 5000 under the pretext of being a backpack. Between Jinja and Mbale, you pay Ush 8000, but they are all a sales pitch for our bags (they are asking for tickets to pay them! We finally put the bags to our seats and sit on it) and then we have to change buses. Quieter after M bale (or it's no longer any tourist) or expenditure 4000 to join one Kumi, then 15000 for Lira and Gulu to finally 10000Ush.

The boda-boda (motorbike taxi) are a pleasant way to travel, but not very reassuring, especially three on the bike without a helmet recess and along a dusty track full of holes. Were avoided as much as possible, but it was the only way to go and see Kakoro Nyero, or are the rock paintings. It was 3000 Ush has 2 pay every time, since for Kakoro Mbale, Kumi and since for Nyero.

is often eaten very heartily for a price between 10,000 and 15,000 Ush has two, including drinks. A few hits, like the tombs of Kasubi to Ush 10,000 per person. The guided tour (5000 Ush tip for the guide) is interesting, but no one knew that AC was burned. Ush 6000 per person for the national museum not inevitable. It was the theater in Kampala, see Blissfull Hell, for 30,000 Ush has two, and cinema has Mbale, see Chelsea Arsenal Ush for 1000 each. Guides rock paintings were adorable. We met them on the spot every time. Laurence Kakoro was very informal, but attentive. Okuma Nyero was more professional. In both cases, it was 6000 Ush leave a tip.

We spent a total of EUR 600 in two weeks, in a country that we really liked, and where we want to return. In October 2010, a Euro 3000 gave Ush.
