A tidy highland town ringed by tea plantations and dozens of crater lakes, serving as the gateway to Kibale and Semuliki. The cool climate, royal Tooro palace on the hill, and walkable center make it a comfortable base for several days. Crater-lake circuits by boda or bicycle are the signature local outing.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
