In a few hours, a 1 day Equator tour Uganda experience offers something memorable. Thinking of how the earth operates, start with this rewarding one-day safari to the Equator, a line that divides the earth into two, crossing only thirteen countries on earth namely; Uganda, Gabon, Indonesia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Somalia, Ecuador, Republic of Congo, Brazil, Maldives, Sao tome and Principe, Kenya and Colombia.
You discover that when you have reached the point in which the equator line crosses, everything changes, the temperature rises and the gravitational force disappears; this magical demonstration is what you should not miss out. The imaginary line subdivides the earth into two hemispheres- the northern and southern, reconciling the northern and southern pole to zero degrees.
Detailed Itinerary
Day one: Exploring the Equator and back to Kampala or Entebbe Airport
Early in the morning, our expert driver-guide will pick you up from the agreed point in Kampala city or Entebbe Airport. Everything should happen after your breakfast, and right before you are briefed on everything you should expect during this excursion. Drive off following the Mpigi – Masaka highway, on a very comfortable ride through a tarmac road. Be fascinated with views of the local homesteads scattered across the countryside. Lots of green plantations and amazing hills to Kayabwe are on either side of the road. This overall, is a journey that lasts for approximately two hours.
Upon arriving at the destination, the equator guides will gladly welcome you, and happily take you to the demonstration point. You are shown the point where the Equator (imaginary) line crosses. The site guide goes ahead to make some magical demonstrations through the assistance of water and magnetic fields. This involves water entering a hole in the clockwise direction, and the climax is when the water sinks to straight down at the zero degrees. It is this that confirms that you are standing at the equator. Expect this and more when you book this safari.
You may ask any related question and get informed. For example, midday of 21st March, and 23rd September is very hard for anyone at the imaginary line to see their shadow. You will also appear lighter. Do not forget to take memorable photos at the equator and the surrounding places. When you visit the craft shops, buy some souvenirs and artifacts. There is delicious lunch composed of local and some international cuisines at the restaurant that you will eat. After that drive back to your residence or hotel in Kampala. A 1 day Entebbe city tour can work for you if you stay there until tomorrow.
