Hoima's Kibiro Salt Gardens & Hot Springs Among the numerous tourist attractions in #Hoima, Uganda is the Kibiro Salt Gardens, a site that boasts hundreds of years of heritage and a unique socio-economic system.

A sandy area along the southern shores of Lake Albert, near Hoima City, the Kibiro salt-producing community depends on salt production & trade, and fishing for a livelihood, activities they have done for centuries.

Salt production in Kibiro is a women’s hereditary occupation; an intriguing crystallization process that tourists can immerse themselves in to better appreciate the product but also learn from the sustainability strategies the community practices to maintain this resource.

The ultimate reward for tourists who visit Kibiro is the Kibiro Hot Springs, which, like many other hot springs Uganda is endowed with, have water puddles that heat up to 100°C and can boil eats like eggs, green bananas & Irish Potatoes – always an exciting activity for tourists to experiment. Basking in the warm waters of the hot springs whose healing abilities many swear by, is also a must-do while in Hoima.
