Uganda Highlights

Physical challenges
During this trip we do not ride significant heights. The bad slippery roads (particularly after rain) can make travel heavy. However this is probably only a few days.

Off Road
About 70% of the route is on asphalt roads, which are often of remarkably good quality. For a small part we drive on unpaved roads. The quality of these roads is very different. After rainfall these roads can get very slippery.

Clothing
Mandatory are a helmet, motorcycle jacket with protection, gloves, a good strong pair of (motorcycle) trousers with protection or separate knee armour, and sturdy high (mountain) boots. Furthermore, it is expedient to bring a good pair of sunglasses, lip balm and sunscreen as well as a helmet with visor or a good pair of glasses that also protect against the dust of unpaved roads.

Accommodation
With a few exceptions, during this trip you will stay in comfortable hotels or tented camps.
