This December, 11 – 13, 2020, the Roast and Rhyme returns.

Dubbed ‘The Wild Roast & Rhyme’, given the destination is Murchison Falls National Game Park. Organized by Swangz Avenue and supported by Bell Lager, The Wild Roast and Rhyme is a meat and safari experience that will bring together lovers of meat, beer and music for a weekend of COVID-safe fun in one of Uganda’s most beautiful game parks.

Speaking Wednesday to officially announce the experience, Simon Lapyem, the UBL representative, said, “This year has been quite disruptive and lots of people need to take some time off to relax and unwind. This is yet another opportunity for Bell Lager to step up to the occasion and ensure that our consumers have a good time safely while enjoying the best that Uganda’s tourism and hospitality industry has to offer.”

He also stressed the fact that the organisers have put in place and will enforce the standard operating procedures (SOPs) put forward by the government and Ministry of Health to ensure attendees remain safe amid the global COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Layem, the wild experience is also one way pof giving back to the hospitality industry after the Covid-19 hit.

“The hospitality industry has been one of those that has been severely hit by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and this is one way through which we are breathing life back into the sector and the economy while promoting domestic tourism,” he noted.

Julius Kyazze, CEO of Swangz Avenue, said the meat, beer and travel is about bringing people together.  

“The Wild Roast and Rhyme has a similar identity as all the other editions – it’s about bringing people together for barbeques and live music performances with the added twist of the game park experience. This edition is another way to do that while getting away from the bustle of the city centre and enjoying the great outdoors,” Kyazze said.
