When it comes to beverages, Uganda has it all. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are found in Uganda. For those who would like to taste Uganda’s beer, Uganda breweries in Kampala and Nile breweries at the source of the Nile, will make your day with their beer varieties. For those who are not allowed to take alcoholic drinks Uganda caters for you too. Coca-Cola and Pepsi cola factories are the top of non alcoholic makers of those dinks. But other small factories are also competing with the big two.
Do you want to taste the traditional beverages? Take heart………….you know Uganda, is composed of many tribes and for that matter every tribe has it traditional drink. If you go deep in the villages in a place like Kabale district of southwest Uganda and you ask for water to drink, people especially old men and women will laugh at you. For them to take water is like a punishment. And if you want to test Uganda traditional alcoholic drinks, ask for any person from any tribe, you will no regret.
If you have never heard of it, get it from me now,….more than ¼ of Uganda is covered by water. Uganda has more than 30 lakes with lake Victoria one of the biggest Lakes in the world. This means that every corner of Uganda has access to water foods especially fish. If you have never tasted the tropical African fresh fish, then Uganda is the country to come to.
