Took the bus from Arusha to Kampala, 20 hours. It was lovely, the earth is burnt sienna, the terrain goes from lush tropical green to brown and tan with sparse vegetation. The roads had potholes the size of a VW bug and there is tarmac about half the trip and dirt/rock road the rest. There is constant music with static that plays on the loudspeakers for most of trip. Lots of talk on the bus. It all went smoothly except the one girl who got left behind at the Kenyan border. Everyone started discussing what to do, the priest arguing with the bus driver, the fare taker arguing with some other passenger, etc. etc. Not a bad ride. However, I don't think I'll include this experience in my tours.
