The most interesting part of the journey is food, which is made with local ingredients taken straight from the farm to the table, helping to keep the culture alive.
Western Uganda is known for its tasty dishes made with ghee and butter, giving them a rich flavor. This land, often called the land of milk and honey, produces many products such as ghee sauce, usually made by older women, and during the process, they must stay silent to avoid spoiling the dish.
The ghee is mixed in oburo, which is a blend of bread and millet, mashed matooke, cassava, and groundnuts, and it is usually served in hand-woven basket plates.
Yogurt and eshaabwe are also made from milk, which helps the locals earn an income and gives visitors a taste of the past.
After lunch, you can enjoy organic fruits such as bananas, jack-fruit, pineapples, sugarcane, wild berries, and passion fruits.
The community tours are led by a knowledgeable guide who walks with you for the whole day, sharing different stories about nature to make sure you leave with a smile.
Under the guidance of the tour leader, visitors go to villages where they visit primary schools, churches, and traditional homes.
Other activities that go along with this tour include bird watching, crater lake viewing, visiting Kibale Forest National Park, and many more.
