Cycle Lake Victoria from Kampala by boat, then ride 20 to 25 km on dirt trails with a guide, snacks, and a Rolex included.

“A great cycling experience just outside of Kampala. It was rainy season, so the ride was muddy in areas, but still fun. Zaga was a great host leading me through trails on the east side of Lake Victoria. Added bonus was the bike ride crossing the lake. You'll see various birds diving into the water hunting for fish.”
