@@YaraMelAround Aw! Thank you for your kind words and lovely videos. I feel honoured that I was your first ever. Hope you get many more. Be blessed. BTW, I subbed to you a long time ago when I watched a video of you in Maputo. I always was fascinated by that city and hoped to visit one day. So it was amazing to see you again in Kampala and Kigali, cities that I enjoy visiting.

Most of the locations you mention (javas, serena, acacia and every other "western standard" locations) 30 dollar is just enough for the main course. Yes, compared to other Capitols, Kampala is inexpensive. Always remember though where the "cheap" prices come from. Remember that your daily spent of 30 dollars is more than a "normal" person makes in a week there. Streetfood like Rolex and transportationon Boda is inexpensive indeed. If you reach for more comfort or better safety, Kampala is equal to other cities around the world. I am European married to a Ugandan lady, taking care for her 2 daughters (school fees!, medical treatment...) and I love the country so much but especially the "whites' traps", the spots you mention are made for expats and driven by family members of President Mseveni (who is doing a great job btw), Chinese or Indians, these spots are not affordable for locals.

[@YaraMelAround]

$30 is supposed to be a tourist budget, not a locals budget to live everyday life. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 😊

[@kayitamoses8580]

What she used for breakfast is more than my lunch money for all week 😂😂😂😂😂. There are levels to this game. And I think that's a lot of food that she ate

[@raychelmiguel8535]

This was so beautiful to watch❤️

Thanks my dear. Can't wait to do $30 day in Mombasa with youuuu ☺

Kampala is indeed beautiful. That 34,000 can get you a great meal in great restaurants in the city. On food, you're perfect on it.

I wasn't aware about how cheap my country is. Thanks for showing me. Staying outside for too long can make one out of touch about costs and expenses. Hello to that guy who said Kenya is cheaper. Kenyans come to shop in Uganda.

[@NomadGurkha]

can we do a video on furnished 1bedroom rentals as well which gives as expats more perspective on affordability

[@YaraMelAround]

Not right now. Maybe when I have the right connections in the real estate here. Thanks for the idea!

There's a difference between cheap and affordable. Kampala is affordable, not cheap.

Which Kampala were you in???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 $30 is just not enough for you to tour Kampala

With a plan is definitely enough for a good day!😎😂

bro who said kenya is cheaper than Uganda should earn some knowledge

[@fredking9144]

Nairobi is more expensive than kla

[@kbomera87]

30$ is not even close to enough to spend in the city for a day.

[@lawbsk1048]

For who? I mean people spend 30$ a week

[@lutaloenock7249]

This is s a lie. unless when u only shop in only expensive malls for all yo home needs

[@Baraka_SYP]

Where are you from sir? 30$ is more than enough for a day in Kampala. At least for the places she visited.

[@lubanzaozunu6527]

@kbomera... Waaa!! 30 dollars is alot for some people to even spend in a day. If its high end place that can be enough. I know of places you can both eat and drink on 30 dollars for you and a partner. Yall should try olive restaurant in naguru. Its nice

30 USD a day. I would grow obese

​@@martincou2089 Thank you. London is my favorite city, I've been there a few times, so there's no rush to visit again. Maybe in a few years.
