People often say:
Don’t you go to Beijing to see the Great Wall? It's okay!
or: If you go to Thailand without riding an elephant, it will be in vain!
or N similar expressions: When you go to Korea, you don’t buy skin care products for your girlfriend, do you want to break up? !
You went to Japan without nude? ? Are you sick!
. . . . . . The person who asked the question
is very striking. In fact, it is not a question, but a rhetorical tone to remind you that if you don’t go to those places or do those things, you are just a 2B.
But Lao Wang next door has other opinions: Traveling is a very relevant thing to your personal preferences. You cannot ask everyone to like the Great Wall, or you must shop when traveling! Moreover, those "must-visit attractions" are so unique by the media or the public, and many expectations are imposed on them invisibly. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, isn’t it?
and there are also those products that can become a must-order on your shopping list, which must have their own uniqueness, or whether you understand its uniqueness. If you know nothing about its history or past, you must go for a "travel here" simply because it is "famous". The meaning of this travel is like a task, and you just want to complete it, not really enjoy it.
For example, this time I went to Uganda , an East African country known as the "Pearl of Africa", there are many signature attractions or iconic activities that I can show off, but I almost didn't get the most from them. On the contrary, I walked slowly and slowly approached its internal organs step by step, and found a lot of things that everyone might not understand or have misunderstood about Africa.
"Pearl of Africa" Uganda - Regular Signature Attractions
Jinjia Rafting ( Nile First Rafting)
Tracking mountain gorillas (half of the world is here)
Hotel Victoria (the largest lake in Africa)
Kasubi Royal Tomb (World Heritage)
I must admit that not going to Jinja rafting was a big mistake.
is the first to float towards the source of the Nile River, and should have gone! The Nile River is the longest river in the world and the oldest civilization in the world. It can float at its source. Wow, it feels like it can go to heaven, right? The ancient Egyptians judged the earliest changes in the four seasons through the slow flow and flooding of the Nile River. In this holy place where every soil nurtures the origin of civilization, I actually missed it.
Hey, blame Uganda drivers!
cried!
has had sex with the driver in Uganda. . .
uses chartered car service in Uganda, and a total of two drivers were used.
The first James, the itinerary was confirmed in the early email. He went to Jinjia to drift early on the morning of the 21st. As a result, he spent 2 hours to arrive at Jinjia. He was told that he had missed the latest rafting trip! James looked confused and said he didn't know Jin Jia's schedule... Don't you know if it's up to me to tell you? Don't you know you won't call to check in advance? Without knowing anything, I took the guests all the way over there, and I went back in shame after I didn't do anything... Are you stupid or I crazy? Choose such an unreliable driver!
Don’t give up if you don’t go to the first raft of the Nile River! I temporarily changed my itinerary and decided to go to Jinjia again the next day and must go to float again!
Everything was arranged, the drifting group had signed up, and immediately introduced another place to pick it up through an acquaintance. It was agreed that the new driver would come to the hotel to pick it up at 6 am on the 22nd.
As a result, I never expected that the second driver actually called early in the morning and said that the car was broken. He was waiting for his colleague to change his car and was rushing to the hotel. It was expected to take half an hour. When I looked at the time, it was already 5:30 in the morning!
The last rafting trip of Jinjia was set off at 9 o'clock. I have reserved enough time to wait for 2 hours on the road and wait for 1 hour. However, the traffic in Kampala is a world-famous congestion. What should I do if I delay the road? He just said that the car was broken now. Why did you go last night? Why not arrange everything in advance? Is there anyone so unreliable?
was waiting anxiously, time passed minute by minute, and it was already past 6:30, and the chance to drift was getting slim. I had nothing to say, sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby like a deflated ball.
Finally, the driver arrived at the hotel at 7:15.
There is a British proverb called As dead as a Dodo, which describes a thing that is dead and unsuccessful. So, you know now that no matter how determined you are, some things are destined by heaven, and there is no show.
If you want to accomplish something, the right time, place and people are indispensable.
The first rafting at the source of the Nile River
The world's top rafting, this is how it is to play ~
Every time you go to a place with high storms, your chance of wet is 100%
Not afraid, there is a boat of people accompanying you wet

Another "must-visit attraction" is like a useless
World Heritage Site— Kasubi Wangling
This history of the Buganda Kingdom can be learned in depth, but the entire Wangling does not have the impression of "must go" in terms of scale and visual attraction.
Thatched low house was originally the palace of King Mutesa I, but after his death, it was converted into his tomb.
The last four kings of the Buganda Kingdom chose to be buried here after their death.
What is difficult to understand is that so far, there are still people living in the tombs! The relatives and descendants of the royal widow will sign an agreement with the current government, and then send one or two representatives to move to the earthen houses in the royal tomb for a period of time, and the length of time can be negotiated. This is clearly the rush of the keeper!
"City Blocked" Kampala
Kampala (Kampala), the capital of Uganda, its "Customs" have been heard. However, I have experienced African transportation in Nairobi . It takes more than half an hour to walk one or two kilometers, so I have psychological expectations. Although Kampala is the capital, the airport is in another city - Entebee (Entebee).
Entebbe International Airport
0The airport is 40 kilometers away from Kampala city, and before it reaches the edge, it started to be blocked
No them (Kampala traffic police in white clothes)
The city is more blocked
Take Boda-Boda (Ugandamo)
It should be the fastest way of transportation
UnionPay has entered this country
This is the most advanced hotel in Kampala, and even the entire Uganda
Kampala Serena Hotel
was formerly Nile Hotel. After investing millions of dollars, it was converted into a super luxury hotel
covering an area of 17 acres, with streams and ponds
Nile Beer
is located at the source of the Nile River
Which country in the world is more qualified to give this name than Uganda
?
After the driver of Uganda extinguished me from the desire to drift in Jinjia, I felt that I was not feeling well. I was depressed for two days, and those two days were actually abandoned and running on the dirt roads of this country in a car.
Since I haven't even been to the "must-visit attractions", I relaxed and began to look at everything around me with more eyes. First, I met Sabrina, who works in tourism in Uganda, a native of Tianjin. She has been married to Uganda for 5 years with her husband.She took me to visit Kampala, and it happened that all places closed early on Friday, and she was persistent in lobbying with the ticket sellers and mediating with the guide, so she must go in and check it out for us. This girl is so sincere. She said that Africans are always stubborn and slow in their efficiency. With local Chinese helping them, it will reduce a lot of trouble for tourists. It is really exciting to meet the local accent when you are traveling.
Then, another thing that I still remember is our accommodation in Lake Victoria.
Lake Victoria Serena Hotel
Situated to enjoy the most beautiful location of Uganda
I am a little surprised. The poor East Africa has such a rich hotel.
Another grand wedding was held here today, and Uganda has obviously become an increasingly popular wedding and vacation destination in East Africa. The Lake Victoria Serena Resort, which covers an area of hundreds of hectares, has green gardens, and more than a hundred villas and sunny suites are scattered among them! There is a basketball court and several tennis courts, a super (40mx25m) swimming pool, a well-equipped gym, and Serena Hotels' famous Maisha Spa.
has no special expectations and is not a "must-visit attraction". Lake Victoria Serena Resort happens to be on the road between Entebbe and Kampala, just on the shore of Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa. If you are not careful, the lake light will ripple in your view every day.
Hotel is very good for Xiaotian. Da Benz special car picks up and drops
Actually, there are many good hotels. The key is that the pavilions and towers here are green grass, which match the "natural and wild" temperament that East Africa has. It is amazing that Uganda also has such a good environment.
In the early morning, the waiter knocked on the door and sent the breakfast for two people.

holes golf
Uganda national champion is a coach for me
I really didn’t expect that Uganda had such a great golf course !
is located in Africa's largest lake, Lake Victoria. In addition to playing on this 9-hole course certified by PGA Championship, you can even take a yacht to the lake! This has never been seen in other world-class stadiums, as there is a part of the area of Victoria Lake that is directly managed by Serena Hotel.
The resort has built a Marina restaurant bar on the lakeside, which is responsible for the landscape and temperament catering. After eating and drinking, guests can also rent a private yacht to go fishing and sightseeing at Lake Victoria...
Today, Lake Victoria Serena Resort specially invited Uganda National Masters champion Fred K. to correct Xiaotian's swing habits on the spot. It was great. I didn't expect that I missed so many so-called "must-visit attractions", and the journey could be so beautiful.
There is a famous teacher on the spot to give advice, and I am very confident in my high ball skills! ~~
Like this golf bag~

Hotel guests can take private yachts to visit the lake and party!
Wild animals in Uganda
Queen Elizabeth National Park
This one should be the cuteest Ugandan red antel
sticking out his tongue at me!
Queen Elizabeth National Park, which ranks first in the most popular national parks in East Africa with its species diversity. In this 1978 square kilometers wild, you can see lions, buffaloes, hippos, chimpanzees, leopards, elephants, baboons, mongooses and various birds.
I recall the wild safaris to Kenya and Tanzania in 2013. Compared with Masai Mara or Serengeti , Queen Elizabeth National Park is smaller in area, and its various owners are accustomed to appearing in fixed areas, so it is easier to find wild animals you want to see. For example, Ishasha in the south is famous for lions who can climb trees. Find a reliable safari guide and take you around the fig tree and observe carefully through the swaying shadows, because those lions like to rest on the trunk with half-squinted eyes.

About African buffalo
Big One of the 5 African buffaloes is stronger than a lion, but it is a big myopic eye. If a crazy buffalo rushes towards you, the only way you can save yourself is to lie down directly! In the eyes of the buffalo, you will have "disappeared" directly!
Video screenshot: Buffalo is a big myopic eye. In fact, you are looking at flowers in the fog in their eyes~
Beautiful sunset on the East African grasslands...
Stepping across the equatorial line
The northern and southern hemispheres, I know
On the way from Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park
Walk south and you will pass the equatorial line.
When you reach the equator, you must step on one half of the ball with both feet!
What Xiaotian knows [Queen Elizabeth National Park]:
Tickets: Adults/Children $40/$20
06:30-19:00, the park gate is open only 07:00
0 Caseni in the northeast is the regular entrance. It is best to come in the morning and you can see the most shocking scenery in the entire park.
Several trails at the entrance of Katunguru on the Muweiya Peninsula can occasionally see leopards
Ishasha mainly see lions who can climb trees (tree-climbing lions)
Cajunga Canal boat ride ($30) you can see crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, pelicans and ospreys, and you can share a boat.
tracks chimpanzees in Kyumbura (Chambura), $50, set off for 2-4 hours, 08:00 and 14:00. The odds of seeing chimpanzees are said to be only 50%
. The newly developed "experience travel" uses locators and radio collars to track lions, leopards or mongooses, and close contact with wild animals, and the prices vary.
Experience it with your heart.
Even if it is not a "must-visit attraction", it will become the only No.1
