According to Baker Masheta, the company’s Product Development Manager, the first trip of 2021 will be held during the Easter weekend of 2nd to 4th April.
“The first trip is to Lake Bunyonyi on Easter Holiday at a cost of UGX350,000 for camping and UGX450,000 for rooming. The calendar will be updated throughout the year,” Masheta said.
He further revealed that the “prices are subject to change and will definitely drop. There is no chance of them increasing.”
