An Epic beach tour experience. - The Fresh spray kissed my face as we weaved through Kampala on bodabodas on our way to White sand beach-Entebbe, the city's frantic hum replaced by the rhythmic roar of the beautiful aquatic scenery of the Pearl of Africa. As I hooped on the back of the bodaboda, I immediately felt the rush of the wind as we weaved through the kampala traffic and made our way to White-Sand beach, Entebbe. The journey provided glimpse into the local way of life and the lively chatter of people going about their day! This trip with my friends wasn't just about the destination; it was the journey, the laughter, the shared experience that truly resonated. It was a reminder of the simple pleasures in life, the beauty of connecting with nature and loved ones, all with a dash of Ugandan adventure thrown in for good measure, kudos to the White sand beach!! I highly recommend incoporating a bodaboda ride into a your beach excursion for a trully unforgettable expirience.

What a great experience on a 2 wheel ride in Kampala!!!!ride. - Woke up today so stressed with a heavy heart!!!!!!.the only thing that came on my mind was a solo small trip around the city. So lucky to tour with Kampala city and slum tours on a motor bike with ramathan the guide.it was such an amazing experience & totally unforgettable to pass through the very many cars and crowded places like downtown , on a bodaboda. I have experienced nice views with trees that can at least absorb carbon from these many cars and people.i have truly loved this!!!.a moment that anybody shouldnot miss. I thank you Ramathan my guide.

Crazy Biking & Great Stories - Oef what a great start of our trip to Uganda. Cruising through town Kampala Style is already an experience of its own. While city live is unfolding around you guide Solomon and his ever-smiling motor crew show you the most wonderful and interesting places in the country's capital. Solomon has a great knowledge of the country's history and culture and a natural talent for telling stories. An absolute recommendation to explore Kampala local-style!

Speeding through the city on boda to see all the sites! - We took the boda boda tour and loved it. This is the only way to successfully get around and see the city of Kampala due to all the traffic. The bodas are able to avoid all the traffic jams so that you can continue on your city tour. The company is focused on safety and provides helmets to all riders. We took bodas in other areas, but I felt much safer riding with the guides on this tour. They took very good care of us and drove safely in all the traffic. The guides were attentive to our interests and spent extra time at the activities that we enjoyed. Before the tour we spent some time discussing what we were interested in and planning our route. We also started our tour with a overview and history of the city to get us oriented. I highly recommend this tour, especially as an introduction to the crowded city of Kampala!
