When people travel, they are sometimes fearful about the food they will eat and how unhealthy it might make them because many a time they do not find enough time to work off the excess calories because they are often concentrating on the “more important” things of their holidays. Sometimes there is just not much to do than to laze and in the process, vacationers accumulate loads of weight. When they return home to their friends and families, they begin pointing fingers at them because of how unhealthy they have become, in a time so short. But it is a completely different story for Safari and tours guests in Uganda. “It is never a problem; never difficult to lose calories while in Uganda”.
Uganda is not only gifted with an abundance of gorgeous things for tourists to see but a long list of sporting activities that will help vacationers to kept in shape.
While in Kampala, you can choose to just go for an early morning jog or an evening walk through the paved streets as the vehicles drive slowly past you in the mornings and evenings (as people head to or from work). There are normally people walking along the roads for different purposes; some just do not have enough shillings to pay for a matatu (taxi), while others are walking for a cause similar to yours (maintaining a good level of fitness). The security in Kampala is generally topnotch, so you can be assured of enjoying a walk or jog during your Uganda safari; you just have to stay on the pavements and keep an eye out for the traffic.
Tours and Safari guests in Uganda could also choose to go to any of the many parks and fields to kick around a ball with the skillful Ugandan footballers, or they can visit a basketball court to show Ugandan basketball players how good a dribbler or shooter you are. You could also just travel to the field with your jump rope to make a few skips. Tennis lovers can find a court a few minutes’ walk into the Makerere University main gate. There are also several courts for cricket, volleyball, and basketball in the Lugogo sports center; just fifteen minutes from Kampala city center along the road leading to Jinja (on a good day without traffic).For some people, weight lifting or using a gym bike is a better way to lose pounds. There is no need to pack your dumbbells when coming for your Safari to Uganda because there are top-class gyms at almost every corner of Kampala. In the gyms are knowledgeable and friendly therapists who will coach you through some of your favorite and other new exercises. Even when you travel away from Kampala, you can be fortunate to find modern fitness centers in some of the upmarket lodges that are situated in or adjacent to the National Parks.
Keeping your body in shape is often something you get to choose to do; for some it has developed into a habit, while many of us just do a few exercises once in a while to maintain a relatively good level of fitness. When you travel to Uganda, at least add it to the list of things to-do. You should also try not to eat too much junk; there’s a lot of better organic food for you to eat. Enjoy your holiday in Uganda while remaining healthy.
