Not as expected
Tam_B, Feb 2024
The best parts were the boat trip and the walk to the falls. The "forest experience" was stopping on the side of the busy highway and taking pictures. Seriously. The drive is slow and scary. It may have been better with an air conditioned car as promised, but instead we experienced the cane truck exhaust unfiltered. It should have cost 196 per car, not per person.
Exciting

This was an eventful and surprising trip. We loved every bit of the journey with our guide and the history behind the various places we visited in jinja. It was definitely worth the trip..
