WHS TOUR BEGINS: Out of Africa

I decided to work my way inland of central Africa instead of out to the Seychelles and Madagascar. So I hit 5 World Heritage Sites today.... Including Kilimanjaro National Park at 19K+ altitude (my service ceiling is 23200 ft) and then flew over the Serengeti National Park (https://www.serengeti.com/best-time-to-visit-se…).
I am currently chilling out in Entebbe, Uganda, but sleeping in the cockpit so I don't find anything stolen or sabotaged. It's currently a Level 3 warning for travelers (reconsider travel). Yet so far, the people are nice, I have plenty of bottled water, a camping stove for my green tea, and lots of Snickers Bars. I might even order some local cuisine if I can find a place recommended that delivers or is near enough...
Some traditional and historic Ugandan foods include:
• Posho or kawunga—called ugali in Kenya, it is usually made from maize but also other starches, regional names include kwon. Ugandan expatriates make posho from cornmeal, masa harina or grits. Kwon is a type of ugali made from millet (called kalo in western Uganda) but in other regions like eastern Uganda they include cassava flour.
• Groundnuts (peanuts)—groundnuts are a vital staple and groundnut sauce is probably the most commonly eaten one. They are eaten plain or mixed with smoked fish, smoked meat or mushrooms, and can also be mixed with greens such as borr.
• Sim-sim (sesame)—a staple particularly in the north, roasted sesame paste is mixed into a stew of beans or greens and served as a side dish, though sesame paste may also be served as a condiment; a candy is made from roasted sesame seeds with sugar or honey.
• Matooke—(green banana, not plantain) boiled or steamed (mashed) cooked in or served with a sauce of peanuts, beans, fresh fish or meat.
• Luwombo—a traditional dish from Buganda, in which a stew of chicken, beef, mushrooms or fish is steamed in banana leaves.
• Malewa—a traditional dish from eastern Uganda (Bugisu), made from bamboo shoots.
• Kikomando—a chapati that is cut into pieces and served with fried beans.
My choice of drinks seem to be:
Beverages
Tea (chai) and coffee (kawa) are popular beverages and important cash crops. These can be served English-style or spiced (chai masala). Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Fanta have all made inroads in the Ugandan market and soft drinks have become very popular. Both traditional and Western beers are probably the most widely available alcoholic beverages across Uganda.
Pombe and lubisi are generic words for locally made fermented beer, usually from banana or millet. Fermented banana wine[1] is also prepared and consumed. Tonto is a traditional fermented drink made from bananas.
Waragi is the generic term for distilled spirits and these also vary, see for example Uganda Waragi, a brand name for clear or yellow gin.
It's been beautiful VFR weather the whole way.En savoir plus
