The Kingfisher isn't a traditional Halloween destination, by any means, but it was pretty awesome. I am told this is a tradition going back several years, wherein expats with children drive over from Kampala (it's about two hours away) and take over this lodge. The rooms are mostly free-standing cabins, so it feels like a neighborhood, albeit one with a huge pool and not much food.
We did not participate in the pumpkin decorating contest, as the competition was fierce.
But we did do the halloween parade.
There was some pumpkin carving.
