As you tour Uganda, you can get both: Western and local Ugandan food. The lodges and hotels where you stay often offer a menu that is familiar to Westerners. These are the dishes you know, but with a Ugandan twist. Instead of spinach, for example, you might find dodo. 

Instead of mashed potatoes, you get matoke puree. Also, you will find something typically Ugandan on most menus. In short: there is plenty of choice for your during your Uganda safari.

When you travel with Choose Uganda Safaris, we basically take care of all your meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

We also make sure that you have a chance to experience some delicious local Ugandan food one or more times along the way (whatever you like). A local dinner. A local lunch. 

And, of course, we make sure you can taste the Rolex. If you are imagining a luxury watch, think again. Uganda’s famous Rolex has nothing to do with the Swiss watch brand. As Ugandans like to joke, “We don’t wear Rolex, we eat them.” 

The name comes from “rolled eggs.” This popular street food consists of a freshly made chapati wrapped around an omelette with tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables. It is simple, delicious, and found all over the country. For many visitors, it quickly becomes a favourite snack on the road.

Here is our useful tip: if you are going to eat a Ugandan meal, order one portion for two people. The portions here are huge.
