Fort Portal the second. We´ve been in Fort Portal five years ago, and we´ve really liked it. Back then, it had its nickname “Fort Pothole” for a good reason but besides that, it was a nice, well-developed town amidst a montane region with a lot of coffee and tea plantations. Neighbouring Rwenzori mountains are the reason why it rains a lot in and around Fort Portal, the nearly black volcanic soil is very fertile, and because of its altitude of 1.525 m, the climate in town is moderate with cool nights. I call it German weather.
