Kampala City (NIGHT LIFE EXPERIENCE)
Experiencing Kampala during the day and at night are two very different experiences.
During the day is when it is advisable to visit all the culturally and historical sites in all of their beauty but at night Kampala transforms into a partying hub and just like any other thing in Kampala the nightlife has lots of different things to offer to accommodate client’s tastes and preferences.
There places where one can simply sit and enjoy a drink or two like Rugby Club, bars which have a laid back feel with good music like Panamera, sports bars for sports fans to watch matches accompanied by a cold beverage like Arena Sports Bar and Grill, and a number of high end bars like the Alchemist for a more intimate setting but if you what more high energy partying that can go till morning there a number of posh clubs like Illusions where you can party the whole night away. All in all there is something for everyone.
Please note that Kampala is big city and due to inconveniences like traffic jam not all sites may not be visited in one day and secondly for a unique experience around the town we recommend a boda boda ride for a truly Kampala experience with your safety being a priority. All in all Twiga Africa aims for your tour of Kampala to be tailor made to your expectations.

Tourists are more than welcome to join in on the fun, Jinja truly has something for everyone.
Mbale
One of Uganda’s biggest business destination in Uganda. This is mostly because of its proximity with other business hubs like Jinja (2 hour drive away) and Malaba (one and a half hour drive away) that enables lots of people to swarm the area for trading and other business transactions.
