Description
The Ntungamo-Mbarara trail starts off with a tarmac main road after which it branches onto a wide dirt road that leads to Mbarara, one of Uganda’s largest cities and known as the cradle home of Ankole longhorn cows. The road can be bumpy with pointy rocks. But be prepared: expect sticky clay if it has rained. There is one massive 250 meters climb just after the halfway point.

Accomodation
Lake View Resort Hotel is a 4-star hotel located in the heart of Mbarara. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning. For those who want to keep their homebase up to date about their cycle adventure, free WiFi is available!
This hotel is basic, but it's a great accommodation for travelers and has all you need. Some extra credits: you can just cross the street where you will find a bar to have an ice cold local beer after a long tiresome day of cycling.
