SUMMARY:Rafting trip
DESCRIPTION:“These are no ordinary white water rafting trips. In fact\, it is probably the best two days you’ll ever spend in Uganda. Bucket list material!” \nThe 2 days are filled with rafting action\, swimming\, river boarding\, SUPing\, sun and relaxation. The night is spent in tents on the banks of the river at our private spot on the banks of the Nile.

Sign in. Breakfast. \n8.30 / 8.45am depart Jinja to River. \nDay 1 river section – Overtime to Nalubale Camp (After Itanda Falls). \nWe spend the day rafting and then pull into Superhole – taking lunch with us so we can spend the afternoon surfing.  We’ll give you a body board and fins and our expert crew will teach you the skills to get you surfing and cutting up the waves.  There might even be some SUPs available to play with on Superhole. After finishing the day rafting the Bad Place we’ll pull into camp around 4pm. \n4pm – 7pm.  Pull into camp – set up tents\, we provide snacks and plenty of cold beers – you guys relax while the staff get the food going and light the BBQ. \n7pm. Big BBQ dinner. \nAfter dinner we have our legendary ‘fines meeting’ around the fire before the local women’s group come and sing and dance for us! \nDay 2: \nWe’ll get you going with a big full fry up breakfast and some strong coffee before pushing to into the river and the Rapids of Day 2. \n3 big rapids back to back will get you going before a relaxed float and swim down to Nile Special. \nDepending on water levels we’ll stop at a bunch of different waves along the way and pull out the boards for more surfing. Then we’ll pull into the world famous Hairy Lemon Island for an explore and a beer. \nThe Shuttle will be heading back depending on your preference to Kampala or Jinja around 3pm.  \nKayakers: \nAlthough this is a rafting trip\, experienced kayakers are more than welcome to join the fun. Just one condition\, you need to be signed off by KTN or take a KTN instructor along with you. \n  \nPrices: \n\n$210 if you’re rafting (usually $255\, but Nalubale is offering MCU a great discount)\n$65 if you’re kayaking along\n\nWhat do you need to bring? \nMoney to pay in the morning.  Credit cards are accepted with a 5% surcharge. \nShorts / T-shirt or swimsuit for rafting in – quick-dry is best but not essential.  It is highly advisable to wear leggings or long shorts and a long sleeve shirt especially on Day 1. We will be in the sun and in the water for 4 or 5 hours and the sun is merciless.  If you get sunburnt on day 1 you will not enjoy day 2!

SUMMARY:Halloween camping weekend
DESCRIPTION:An affordable weekend of camping\, options to walk/run through a serene forest combined with some Halloween festivities?…. Sounds fun? Then read on…… \nWe are planning a MCU trip for a night in the beautiful Mabira Forest\, with a fancy dress Halloween BBQ planned under the spooky forest canopy on the Saturday night….. \nThe Mabira Forest is a rainforest area covering about 300 square kilometres (120 sq mi) (30\,000 hectares (74\,000 acres)) in Uganda\, located in Buikwe District\, between Lugazi and Jinja. It has been protected as Mabira Forest Reserve since 1932. There are options to bird watch\, trek to see Mangabey monkeys\, hike (both relaxing and long and adventurous options available) and bike through the forest and nearby sugar cane and tea plantations\, or just simply come to relax with the sounds of the forest… Walking and running trails of various lengths can be enjoyed throughout the forest\, and on the Saturday night\, a fancy dress Halloween BBQ party will be organised in the spooky forest…. (don’t forget your fancy dress costume!) \nThe trip will run from Saturday 28th October to Sunday 29th October\, which gives ample time to explore the tranquil forest and surrounds. \nAccommodation\, Food and costs:\nWe will stay at the basic\, but peaceful\, Griffin Falls camp (also known as Mabira Forest Camp). As part of the MCU\, we have been fortunate to be able to negotiate some great savings off their normal prices and rates\, and we have all been offered a FREE 2-hour forest walk!. Longer hikes are also available (UGX10k per person).\nThere are 3 accommodation packages for the weekend: \n• 4 self-contained twin econests. (UGX120k per person\, based on 2 people sharing);\n• 1 x Quadruple banda (four beds) (UGX100k per person)\, or;\n• Camping (unlimited) (UGX80k per person). \nAll packages include the following:\n• One-night accommodation in accommodation of choice;\n• Park entrance fees;\n• Lunch on either the Saturday or Sunday (a full yummy local buffet);\n• A 2-hour guided forest walk;\n• Breakfast on Sunday morning;\n• Entrance to the Halloween BBQ party (bring your own meat\, but charcoal\, salads\, condiments and bread will be provided). \nCold showers are available\, and there are eco-friendly toilets. And if you ask nicely\, they will heat a bucket of water for you to enjoy a warm shower under the forest canopy. \nBeers and sodas are available for purchase at the camp\, although there are no refrigeration facilities\, so if you are partial to a cold drink\, a cool box/ esky might be a good idea 🙂 \nPoints to Note:\n• If you would like to bike\, the camp does not have bikes for rent\, so please bring your own.\n• Don’t forget your fancy dress costume for the Halloween BBQ Party!!!\n• And please also remember bug spray/ insect repellent and a torch! \nDirections: The camp can be found on Google maps- however\, we recommend do not take the “recommended route”\, which basically takes you almost through people’s houses… Instead\, continue past the recommended turn off the road to Jinja\, and in Lugazi\, turn left just before the Minnah/ Minah restaurant on a corner on the left in the town. This road is MUCH better than the other one\, especially if it has been raining\, and there are various signs to the camp along the way to assist- but do keep a watch on google maps\, as not every turn is signposted. \nPlease note: there are options for zip lining in the forest for USD$50 a person. Should you wish to do this\, please note that this activity is not supported by the MCU\, as we are not able to guarantee the safety of the activity. \nContact: Any questions\, please contact Sally Holbrook at madsally@hotmail.com or on 0752 184057. \nPlease follow the link to book (please only complete if you are 100% sure you will be attending): \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxrv3KOOWu6dR8AreMkLALBmGcYjXXbguUBWfrS4mLntEKdQ/viewform
