How easy is it to be vegan?
How easy is it to be vegan?
The standard diet in Uganda is very vegan friendly. Corn, millet or sorghum are used to make a thick dough which is the base of local dishes (posho and ugali), to which is added a protein (meat or beans in gravy, often made with carrots, tomatoes, aubergines or peppers) and cooked greens (local varieties of spinach, kale, chard and cabbage). Plantains are also used in various ways, mainly in katogo which is a stew of plantains and beef eaten for breakfast, or boiled and mashed as matooke, The best way to eat matooke is with g-nut sauce – a deep purple soup made of groundnuts, which tastes like hot salted peanut butter. Brown and white rice are usually available if you don’t like your starches as dense and heavy as posho, ugali and matooke. Other vegetable accompaniments include pumpkin, yam and sweet potato steamed in banana leaves, and slices of avocados; the avocados in Uganda are the best I’ve ever tasted.

The people in Uganda are super complex; they are super soft spoken and also super direct at the same time and all of that is amazing and yet their hearts are the largest hearts in the world. Follow Bryn on his journey of discovery through Uganda and his project to bring healthy food to this poor region. They have amazing spirit and just need a chance.

Home to almost half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas (approximately 400 within the park), Bwindi Impenetrable National park located on the edge of the rift valley in the Southwestern region of the country is one of the best national parks in Uganda.
For travelers that have always wanted to track gorillas, Bwindi offers an impeccable experience of getting up close and personal with the endangered mountain gorillas.
The park also offers an impressive biodiversity, harboring over 120 species of mammals, 348 bird species, 220 species of butterflies and over 1000 flowering species.
You will be required to purchase a gorilla tracking permit from Uganda wildlife Authority (UWA) prior to your safari since only 8 people are allowed to track a specific mountain gorilla group. Also, the gorilla tracking safari can take anywhere between one to eight hours depending on where the gorillas slept the previous night.
