The hotel management also took the winners on a tour of Bujagali Falls to admire the River Nile and enjoy a boat ride. There was swimming, hikes around the hill and games like pool at the hotel.
Winners answered questions like naming the coach of the Nigerian national team, World Cup top scorer of all time and the youngest player in the on-going World Cup in South Africa.
