FERRY TO UKEREWE

After yesterday’s unplanned off-roading around Bunda, we decided to take a bypass and drove to Ukerewe Island on Lake Victoria. We took a scenic one-hour drive from Bunda to Masahunga Ferry Port to catch the 15:00 ferry, but unfortunately, we missed it. The next was at 17:00, so we...
