Guides to Uganda Campsites and Hostels


Where to find the best Uganda Campsites and hostels for travelers and visitors in Uganda





The idea of sitting down and planning where to go for camping and hostel accommodation in Uganda can sound really dull but it's important to remember that proper planning can really help you to get the most out of many situations. This is undoubtedly true when it comes to camping holidays especially in Uganda.

Camping and hostel accommodation in Uganda can be great fun but, unlike when you're staying in a hotel, you obviously have to expect to find pretty basic conditions on most sites. That means that, if you want to have a higher standard of trip, then you're going to have to do a bit of thinking before you leave.



One key issue to think about should be your tent. What sort of condition is it in and are you confident that you can get it erected pretty quickly? If you're uncertain about anything then it's best to try and resolve the problem before you set off.

It's often a good idea, for instance, to try putting your tent up in your garden a few days before leaving on the trip. By doing so, you should be able to identify whether you are likely to encounter any problems.



If there are going to be any problems then you'll be glad to find out about them in the setting of your own garden, rather than finding yourself in a state of panic as you try to put the tent up in potentially wet conditions on a campsite.Have you thought about food and drink? You may be thinking about eating out during your trip, in which case it's worth locating the site on a map and checking that it's close to some restaurants or pubs.



You may, alternatively, be planning to take your own food and drink with you. If this is the case then remember to draw up a list so that you know what you need to buy and what you need to pack. If you're intending to cook then you don't want to forget your camping stove and any pans that you may need.



One issue that's not very pleasant but that needs discussing is that of toilets. We all know that campsite toilet facilities can be pretty poor. Once again, this is something that you can prepare for in advance.

There are a number of retailers selling compact portable camping toilets - these are ideal for such occasions. Don't forget to buy one in advance of your trip.By planning properly you can take a lot of the stress out of your trip. By spending a little bit of extra time at the planning stage you can really make the most of your camping holiday.
