Hi Nsubuga,
Thanks to the web, I came to Mbale for a virtual visit! Here's a little of what I saw:
JCertif is just around the corner. So, here's one route from Mbale to Brazzaville. Google Maps doesn't always give the most direct route.
So, meanwhile...back to Mbale. I see the clock tower and it looks like a nice city center:
I also see some breathtakingly beautiful topography, like the Wanale Ridge:
So, there are a few places I saw. Actually, many more with the help of the web. It looks as though you're in a very beautiful part of the world. Glad to have you here at Codetown. I hope you do some exploring, too.
All the best,
Michael
