Amazing - Recently, I had a trip to Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. The trip was both exciting and educational because Kampala is a busy city with many cultural, historical, and social attractions. During the visit, I had the opportunity to observe the daily life of people in the city and learn more about Uganda’s urban environment.

Perfect. - Great day with Josh Josh is an adorable guide, passionate about his country and the desire to pass on To get to the swamp, we took the ferry, top, away from the tourist tumult Arriving at the marsh, we embarked on a small motorized boat with a guide: Beautiful walk in a beautiful setting and icing on the cake, after a little hour of searching we saw a hoofed beak and stayed a good half hour watching it before it took off Day at the top that I highly recommend
