    Over all experience was great. With regards to Ugandan food like matooke , I recommend you to hire a Ugandan cook to make proper Ugandan lunch and supper meal as the one you are apparently serving is for breakfast. With regards to cassava, it should be left as a whole like just peel the whole root and cook it as a whole not mashing it .

    we had a great experience at mama africa . a little disneyland in africa experience , if you know what i mean . all staff was dressed in traditionall clothing . there was a band playing music ( pretty loud for some people , my oldest son didn't like it ) at first we thought traditional songs but it was more like popular songs in african sauce . good atmosphere . they did the handwashing at the table ! face painting for who wanted to , without pressure to do it . food was good , i had crocodile for the first time . they deliver what they promise ! so african food in an friendly african ( with disney sauce ) atmosphere . i would recommend going there if you are in town . greetings
