Great selection of crafts without having to travel all over. Enjoyed my visit and my purchases. Loved the hand carved chess set.

This craft village was much smaller than perhaps had been indicated. Offering a wide range of wooden, bone, seed and handmade African souvenirs. Sadly we couldn’t purchase many of these given international restrictions on taking these home. The women operating the stalls were very friendly and welcoming

Nice African souvenirs and crafts. You can bargain and negotiate as much as you like. Shop owners are fun and friendly with good and recognized Ugandan humor.
