Cycling Ssese Is to Lake Nabugabo, Uganda
Episode 220
This is a 2-day cycling trip from Kampala, to Entebbe ferry port (50km), a boat trip to the Ssese Islands and a sleep over. The next day a ride across the big island to another ferry port (35KM), a hop back to the mainland and then a final ride to Lake Nabugabo (27km). The ride was with minimal gear, so notionally ‘bike packing’ rather than back packing. Note that I didn’t pack a tent and all the other stuff that usually accompanies me on my back packing and trekking trips, since this is Uganda and lodges/resorts abound. We opted for a provided tent (with mattress, sheets, blanket, breakfast, etc.) and local cooking along the way.
