It Takes A Village
An intense and equally inspiring three weeks in East Africa have come to an end, and we are now back home enriched with many precious experiences.
Churchill was right when he referred to Uganda as “The Pearl of Africa”. This stunning place in Central East Africa, covering a total area of approx. 235’000 sq. km (roughly six times the size of Switzerland) and with a population of around 31.4 million, has so much to offer yet still struggles with overcoming the devastation caused by its brutal leaders in earlier post-independence decades.
Kira, Enzo and I were captivated by Uganda’s warm and friendly people, sublime landscapes, lush vegetation, cultural diversity and spectacular wildlife: viewing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, watching hungry lions “snack” on warthog, admiring some of over 1’000 recorded bird species and travelling by boat up the Victoria Nile with an open-mouthed crocodile on our left and the world’s most powerful waterfall on our right, are just some of many unforgettable highlights.
