We arrived in Kampala with an urgent need... to sort out air tickets. We had just recieved an email informing us that our flight from Kigali would now be leaving from Entebbe instead. With such scant information we urgently wished to get to South African Airways to find out how they could just decide that we would leave from a different country to what we had originally booked.
Arriving in Kampala at Red Chilli Backpackers, on the free rafting bus, we set up our tent for the first time in darkness, this turned out to be easier than finding a clear space between the tents already set up at the backpackers. The guard dogs kindly guarded our tent for the small fee of a chew of our thongs.
The next morning we made a bee line straight for the SAA office, where we were informed that SAA no longer flew from Rwanda, hence the change, however a flight and accomadation with food, would be provided but it would have to be issued by the SAA office in Kigali, Rwanda. Feeling a bit more releaved (a warning not to leave the Rwandan office till it is all sorted out preventing a total relaxation), we wondered why our travel agent couldn't have provided a few more details.
With that out of the way we had the opertunity to explore Kampala some more, we found the Garden City a wonderful mall obviously aimed at the Expats and tourists, the food including meat looked and smelt safe and wonderful, there was even a variety of cheese in the deli.
We had our first steak in 3 months at a butchery that also functioned as a restraunt, steak was never more appreachiated.
