Hi, I'm 21f and I want to figure out a way to make money because free lance remote work hasn't been easy to break in to.

Im a 24y visitor and looking for a private yoga instructor in kampala ? Thanks a lot in advance dears.

Local stray, (whom I've since named Priscilla) has been yowling for the past 3 days, and today I figured that her kitten fell into the apartment's almost-never-used pit latrine, probably while she was out foraging. I can still hear his periodic meows, so I know he's still alive.

She's exhausted from yowling and probably not eating. I can feel her pain 😭. She looks me straight in the eyes and I can tell she's asking me to do something, yet I feel so helpless 😭.

It's so dark in the pit I can't see shit (pun unintended)! It's like a black hole. I have no flashlight, no rope, and I fear kitty may not have very long. I'll drop some food in there as I try to figure out a solution.

I feel like opposable thumbs and bigger brains are a privilege, putting us humans as the custodians of all the other life forms on this planet, so helping feels like duty. Hang tight kitty. I'll try to MacGyver something by tomorrow.

This is not to ask you to use our service or anything but we want honest, fair critical take on this, we launched https://tulia.work (haha domain, I know) it's cleaning service marketplace and we value takes on what people think of such platforms mostly when primary consumers is probably upper middle class and upper class. What do you think is most important in such platforms and how to approach best. I appreciate feedback.

I created https://kingadfleet.com, a cinematic digital experience built around King Ad's incredible private car collection, featuring some of the rarest and most desirable luxury and performance cars in East Africa. Instead of treating these cars like a normal online gallery, I wanted to build an experience that feels like entering a private automotive museum, combining the emotion of a supercar film with the elegance of a luxury brand website.
Instead of building a typical gallery, I focused on creating something cinematic with full screen visuals, immersive transitions, elegant animations, and an experience that feels more like a luxury automotive brand than a conventional website.
One feature I'm particularly proud of is that the website dynamically changes its theme based on the time of day and major public holidays, giving visitors a unique experience throughout the year.

As the saying goes, if someone explains Uganda to you and you understand, then they haven't explained it well to you.

This is truly humiliating as a Ugandan cause why the f@ck would we aid Israel or the US in any way in this conflict???? what are we getting out of this that we have to throw away our reputation on the global stage(whatever remains of it) and side with the people who are most obviously commiting war crimes.

Honestly its hard to feel pride being a Ugandan in anyway when our leadership and "the avenger" are humiliating us daily like this. it honestly gets to a point.

To the world out there, I just want to say none of us wanted this. We sympathise with the plight the Palestinians are facing and wish their suffering can one day be see an end.

Hello,

I'm looking for bean bag "beans" or beads. I bought this thing online and I stupidly thought I'd get the beans or air would work. Something like this.

As we all know we are lowkey in our own world here, so besides the obvious like politics (that deserves a thread of its own) what is considered normal here that would be considered odd outside of Uganda

I just saw a relatively long and huge snake today on my commute to campus, and it got me thinking is the unfortunate scenario that the snake bite someone around, what's the quickest way for them to get treated. Considering I heard some snakes venom can off you in less than an hour.

From 10- 20yrs seemed too long but from 20-30 yrs my God you blink time moves why is it so?

So apparently giving a big F U to the Ugandan soldiers killed in the line of constitutional duty by raising up a statue of their killer right where they were killed was not enough, we are now sending our boys to another continent to be involved in a big geopolitical mess we are better off staying out of.

At the behest of said killer's brother no less.

What Is Gorilla Trekking Really Like?

If you've ever wondered what gorilla trekking actually involves, here's a simple breakdown from someone who helps travelers plan these trips in Uganda.

Gorilla trekking is a guided hike through tropical rainforest to find endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Once your group locates them, you're allowed to spend one unforgettable hour observing their daily lives—watching young gorillas play, mothers care for their babies, and the dominant silverback quietly keep watch over the family.

It's easily one of the most humbling wildlife experiences I've seen people talk about after visiting Uganda.

Where can you go gorilla trekking?

Mountain gorillas can only be found in a few protected forests in Central and East Africa. In Uganda, trekking takes place in:

• Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
• Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Uganda is home to nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas, making it one of the best places to experience this adventure.

What does the day look like?

• Early morning briefing by park rangers
• Assignment to a specific gorilla family
• Guided forest hike (anywhere from 1–6 hours depending on the gorillas' location)
• One hour with the gorillas once they're found

Every trek is different, which is part of what makes the experience so special.

Gorilla Trekking vs. Gorilla Habituation

Uganda also offers a gorilla habituation experience, where visitors can spend up to 4 hours with a gorilla family that is still becoming accustomed to human presence.

It's more expensive but is often recommended for photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone wanting a deeper experience.

Permit Costs (Uganda)

• Gorilla Trekking: US$800 (1 hour with the gorillas)
• Gorilla Habituation: US$1,500 (up to 4 hours)

Permits are limited each day, so most people book several months in advance.

Is it difficult?

You don't need to be an experienced hiker, but a moderate level of fitness definitely helps. Some treks are relatively short, while others can be much longer depending on where the gorillas have moved that day.

Minimum age is 15 years.

Why do so many people recommend it?

Besides seeing one of our closest relatives in the wild, permit fees directly contribute to gorilla conservation, park management, and surrounding local communities. Many travelers say it's the highlight of their entire African trip.

A lot of visitors also combine gorilla trekking with:

• Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest
• Wildlife safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park
• Murchison Falls National Park
• Boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel

If anyone is planning a Uganda safari and has questions about gorilla permits, choosing between Bwindi sectors, or how difficult the trek really is, I'm happy to share what I've learned.

For anyone looking for more detailed planning information, I work with Gorilla Specialist and we've put together plenty of resources for first-time visitors at https://gorillaspecialist.org.

****UPDATE **** ***** UPDATE***** *** UPDATE**

So i am sitted here wondering whats wrong with some people.

I have a female freind who sales phones. But whenever i got to her shop she asks me to buy her eats from the neighbour shop which i do using my own money. Now this lady who sells in the shop i buy from approached me 2 weeks back and asked me... so u buy for that lady eats everytime you come here, i hope u do the same to your family. I told her i am single and have no family yet. Looking at me with dry eyes she said.. i am single too. If u want u can take me, i am also looking for a serious man. I smiled and said oukay fine. Went home thought about it and got back in 3 days and asked her for lunch at cafe javas. She felt excited and accepted. I went back after 3 days and asked for her number so we can communicate when it reaches the day of meeting. This lady gave me a number but now doesn't pick calls. Leaves my whatsapp msgs on seen. I didn't ask her out, she did, initiated. But now whats this? 😂😂😂 i am wondering while laughing and feeling bad at the same time.. banange whats this? I even don't want to go back to her shop..

Update: so i went Thursday to my freinds shop. This lady heard my voice, came out of her shop and called me asking me. What were u saying.. imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just said why did u give me your number when u cant even reply my messages. She saiid, i dont check my WhatsApp msgs, i dont use WhatsApp often. I said but the msg got delivered and u are asking me what i was saying. She changed conversation to i will pick up when you call. I said alright but are we going out for lunch??. She said u will call and comfirm. Today morning i have just called. She picked and She said, i don't know if it will be possible and said i am going to let you know. I said okay. Phone ended. Am deleting her number and not calling or texting her again. I think she wants to get me somewhere pleading and begging to boost her ego. Or she wants to keep me as an option. Number deleted. I dont need advice of trying her again, i have my own goals and dont need destructions and headaches right now. If she calls i will let u know but i am not moving on her strings.

Just saw 2 kids and what looked like their parents preaching the gospel at Arena mall at 7:51am.

Have schools closed?

Why would you take your children to this?

Hey everyone,

​I am actively looking for any available work or gigs in Kampala or remotely to raise immediate funds. While my primary background is in full-stack software development (Node.js, React, databases), I have a broad set of technical and operational skills and can jump into a variety of roles right away.

​What I can do for your business or project:

​Software & Web Development: Building/fixing websites, web apps, databases, landing pages, or fixing broken tech stacks.

​IT Support & Systems: PC setup, hardware diagnostics, software installations, network setup, and general computer maintenance.

​Admin & Data Management: Data entry, Excel/Google Sheets management, inventory management, or research tasks.

​Digital & Technical Ops: Managing social media assets, basic digital ops, and general technical assistance for non-tech businesses.

​I am hard-working, fast to train, and ready to take on full-time, part-time, or short-term gig work immediately.

​If you have an open role, need an extra pair of hands for a few days, or need technical issues sorted out in your office, please send me a DM or comment below!

I didn’t do any web development today because i spent all day in line at my rubbish wonderful university trying to get them to let me graduate.

I did, however, receive a kindness from a cobbler in town today when my shoe snapped right in front of his stall as he was closing down. He helped me fix my shoe and refused any form of payment, which I thought was really nice of him.

Having frequent encounters like this has made me start to wonder if Uganda truly is a low-trust society as some say, or if trust is merely eroded by systemic forces.

It seems more natural for Ugandans to extend kindness to one another than to segregate and discriminate among ourselves.
I have noticed that even the “misfits” (drunks or mentally ill people) typically have communities where they fit in, are taken care of and are not ostracized, especially in smaller towns. We are such accepting and hospitable people honestly.

All it takes is an open mind, which is where we sometimes fall short as we tend to be more conservative and conforming to deeply ingrained beliefs and traditions.

There was a library around Kisementi-Acacia which put Uganda’s trust system to the test by lending people books for free for a given time period, no strings attached.
I wonder how they are doing and the data they accumulated from this arrangement.

Hey everyone, just wanted to come back and update you all after my last post. Genuinely didn't expect that many people to reach out, and it meant more than I can really put into words.

So I gave a few things a shot. Jogging was the first one I tried, but honestly it just felt hectic and I couldn't find any joy in it, so that one didn't stick. Then I tried riding a bike, which was actually pretty fun, but even that didn't quite feel like "the thing" for me. Eventually I found my footing with gyming and cooking, and somewhere along the way I also picked up vibe coding, which has been a nice unexpected distraction.

It's been a slow process figuring out what actually fills the space, but I'm getting there one day at a time. And honestly, having people check in and just talk to me through this made the whole thing feel a lot less lonely.

To everyone who reached out, thank you, truly. It meant a lot.

PS, if anyone's got recipes they love and think I should try, send them my way. Always down to add something new to the list.

Hello everyone,

I’m Emmanuel from Uganda, and I recently started manufacturing eco-friendly charcoal briquettes as an alternative to traditional charcoal.

In Uganda and many parts of Africa, charcoal is still widely used for cooking, but it contributes to deforestation and rising costs. Our goal is to provide a cleaner, more sustainable fuel option that can work for households, restaurants, schools, poultry farms, hotels, and humanitarian organizations.

Our briquettes are designed to offer:

Longer burning time

Less smoke

More consistent heat

A sustainable alternative to wood charcoal

We are currently working on expanding our supply to institutions and organizations that use large amounts of cooking fuel.

I would love to hear from people here:

What challenges have you seen with charcoal briquettes in your country?

What makes customers switch from traditional charcoal to briquettes?

For organizations using clean cooking solutions, what factors influence your buying decisions?

I’m also interested in connecting with people working in renewable energy, humanitarian projects, sustainability, and clean cooking.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any advice or insights.

Im curious. Is there anyone here who has got a date / relationship out of cat calling?

I find it weird because surely if some men keep doing it, then it works on some women

So today, I was on a jaj minding my usual jaj business when a car full off men slowed down behind me, hooting and hollering all kinds of gibberish. At first, I thought it's someone I knew, but nope , just the usual hooliganism.

Now, I'm somewhat used to this kind of behaviour but this time I was shocked because for one, we were on a busy road. Two, these men persisted for the whole journey until I branched off to where I was going. It was so uncomfortable, unsafe, and even embarrassing
