This week’s episode is rather an unusual one. It was recorded at 4100 meters Above Sea Level, around the warmth of a campfire on a rainy and very chilly night in the mountains.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the lives, traditions, and history of the Gishu and Sabinyi people.
I am joined by Alex one of the guides from Mountain Elgon National Park, a true son of the land narrates this mysterious story with its many contrasts.
We will explore the uniqueness of this mountain which protects the world’s largest high caldera and still protects the world’s largest caldera base.
We will certainly talk about the ancient ritual of circumcision as well as the more controversial subject of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Our journey of discovery will also lead us to the story of Kintu who many know to be the first Muganda; but very few know to have been one of the sons of Masaaba, the most sacred ancestor of the Bagisu people.
As the rain drops beat against our small iron sheet shelter and the sparks from the campfire fill the air, we will also learn about the linkage between the Sabinyi people of Mount. Elgon and their Jewish brothers from Biblical Jericho.
ENJOY!

In this episode, I speak to Juma Chebet, a native guide from the Eastern part of Uganda on why the region continues to lag behind in light of tourism promotion and development when compared to the western half of the country.
Juma joins me from the slopes of Mount Elgon; a region that he knows as well as the back of his hand.
He was born and bred in the east and is certainly the perfect ambassador for tourism in this stunning part of the country.
We will also explore some of the bucketlist activities in Eastern Uganda and also shine the light on a new wave of tourism development and promotion that is now driven by youthful lads who are using photography and modern technology to change the narrative and put the region in its well-deserved place.
ENJOY!

Is Trophy Hunting Conservation?
This week we have a respectful conversation with Jens Ulrik Høgh, an expert pro-hunter and outspoken defender of the hunting community, and Dr. Matthew Schurch, the Africa Wildlife Specialist at the world-renowned Humane Society International (HSI).
Jens Ulrik Høgh is a seasoned hunting advocate and a hunter himself with experience in leading and participating in hunting trips. He's been involved in publishing hunting magazines since 1992 as both publisher, editor, and freelance writer/photographer specializing in guns and equipment, historical articles, and hunting reports. For the last few years, Jens has focused specifically on communicating the position of hunting to non-hunters through mass media in Denmark as well as internationally. He joins the podcast on behalf of the hunting community to help us understand how and why they do what they do.
The Humane Society International (HSI) is an organization that stands up for animal protection in countries across Africa and in other parts of the world. HSI runs active campaigns to improve conditions for farmed animals as well as our own wildlife that roams the African plains. They address issues such as what they call inhumane practices and conditions revolving around animal welfare, illegal wildlife trade, threats to endangered species, the slaughter of marine mammals, the use of animals in research and testing, the suffering of animals for the fur trade, and more.

On this day 69 years ago, the fateful plane crash that involved American journo and novelist, Ernest Hemingway and his wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway in Murchison Falls National Park made headlines around the world.
But the story was even crazier
Hemingway, a tall, powerfully built man often wore a mustache and was a man of action as well as a writer of action stories. He’d covered both the Spanish Civil War and both the First World War and Second World War as a correspondent. He was well-celebrated across the globe.
That fateful day of January 25, 1954, the chartered plane carrying the novelist and his wife on a sightseeing trip cracked up in the wilds near the Murchison Waterfalls a couple of moments after failing to land in Masindi for routine refueling.
The area where they crashed was one of the most inaccessible spots in Uganda dominated by crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, lions, and other big game but also one of the most beautiful.
The news made headlines across the globe, as the famous scribe and his wife were feared dead. Obviously, no one imagined they’d have escaped the crash and if they had; the wilderness wouldn’t have spared them.
Long story short, the duo were fortunately found and rescued by a launch-trip taking tourists to the falls. They would, later on, be transferred to Butiaba, on the shores of present-day Lake Albert, where they boarded an evacuation plane destined for Nairobi, Kenya.
Shortly after take-off, that plane caught fire and plunged to the ground as well. Quite shockingly, everyone on board escaped alive but it’s reported that Ernest sustained brain and spinal injuries that he would live with for the rest of his life.
A police rescue party then transferred the Hemingways to Masindi Hotel, which if you didn’t know, is Uganda’s oldest hotel. And to this day, you are able to visit the room he stayed in, lightly conserved but more like it looked several years ago.
As a result of Hemingway’s life-cheating story, several foreign tourists flocked to Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park. And you might just say… that’s still the case.
Well although he’d proved immortal, Ernest Hemingway was found dead of a shotgun wound in the head at his home 7 years after the double-crash. His wife, Mary, said that he had killed himself accidentally while cleaning the weapon.
What a life!

In this episode, I react to some news stories in local and global travel including this week's trending story of complaints about airport staff at Entebbe International Airport. I also react to the news of Uganda being declared Ebola-free, half of Africa's rhinos thriving under private ownership; the sticky story of Tanzania's Maasai population being forced out of their ancestral home in the Serengeti-Ngorongoro conservation region as well as CNN's spotlight on Uganda as one of the top 2023 destinations for travelers.
In the second half of the podcast, I break down 15 trends in travel and conservation to look out for this year including the return of the Chinese traveler, the growing number of digital nomads, and why DR Congo's most famous national park is betting big on crypto.

In this episode, I talk to Evelyn Habasa the founder and director of Ride 4 A Woman, a Community-Based Organization (CBO) in Buhoma that is a force for change; not only for the people it directly and indirectly touches but also for the mountain gorillas who live a short walk away in the UNESCO world heritage site that is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
This conversation will revolve around collaborative conservation and management, basically touching on community and wildlife relations using the case study of gorillas in our midst.
Also some exciting news, we are for the third week running, Uganda's no.1 travel podcast. We are also among the top 10 Ugandan podcasts according to several sources on google and also ranked among Feedspot's top 15 podcasts to look out for in 2023 https://blog.feedspot.com/uganda_podcasts/
