Things to see and do Kasese

What could be better than 42.5°C water to relax after a madwoman equipped on the slopes of the Rwenzori? Eureka, Kasese, by its position in the Rift Valley, has what you need! Open to the public in 2013, this thermal spring is located between the road leading to Kilembe and the impetuous Nyamwamba River, which does not hesitate to leave its bed and cause chaos. In situ, you will find rustic changing rooms, swings and a small garden, where local artists sometimes perform, surrounding the spring, which has been designed for the needs of both experienced and novice spa-goers (dear bazungu friends, expect to see your skin turn crimson). You will be able to cause therapeutic virtues of the hot springs by drinking a cool drink either in a hammock or by slumping down on the sandy ground which borders the aforementioned watercourse. In addition to a volleyball court and a fish pond, there is also a Lilliputian museum dedicated to konzo culture. To paddle, listen to traditional music (combining flute, xylophone and drums) and try local dishes (such as bread kneaded with cassava flour), take the direction of this spring located two kilometres north-west of the city centre. Very friendly welcome. NB: the last floods of the Nyamwamba (May 2020) ravaged the site and forced the managers to carry out major rehabilitation work. Let's hope that the situation will return to normal by the time this guide is published!
