Guided bike ride from Kampala across Lake Victoria by boat, then 20 to 25 km of dirt trails with snacks and a soft drink.

Zaga was a great host leading me through trails on the east side of Lake Victoria. Added bonus was the bike ride crossing the lake. You'll see various birds diving into the water hunting for fish.”

As I am working in agricultural and food, I loved the strolls over the (fresh) markets. The taxi place was fun! The mosque and the climb up the minaret were fabulous. Big hand ✋ for my guide Frida who took good care of me; informative and knowing exactly when I needed more or just less time at certain spots.”
