As I celebrate another year of life, my heart is full.
What better birthday gift than finding myself featured in the Tangaza Africa Tourism Pulse, published by the African Tourism Board. A whole two-page feature, highlighting my journey, my work with young people and what we are building through @GITA_Africa
For an organisation championing African tourism by encouraging us to use our own resources, destinations, networks and stories to promote Africa. Being recognised on such a platform is truly special.
My heart is full. ❤️

I hate sadists. They’re so ungrateful. 😂
Because tell me why all you can say about a birthday is, “The older you get, the closer you get to your grave.” Like bro… imagine not existing at all! 😭😂
Happy birthday to me. 🎂🌝🤭💃🏽
I could write a 100-pager breaking down just how grateful I am for my life and the journey I’ve moved through. For the people around me, the lessons, the growth, and the opportunities that have found their way to me.
A toast to life, to becoming, and to even better days ahead. 🥂
Cheers to twenty-fine. 🤭✨
Wire snares are often set to catch animals like antelopes, but they can also trap lions, leopards and other wildlife. The injuries can be devastating, sometimes leading to infections, loss of limbs or death
Conservation is about giving every animal a chance to live wild & free

As Uganda gears up for World Travel Market London, a number of roadshow activations as part of the marketing efforts are off to a promising start! In Glasgow, UTB and the Uganda High Commission-London engaged travel trade representatives, held 60+ B2B meetings and inspired new travel commitments. Next stops: Manchester and Birmingham! We are taking the #ExploreUganda story to the world ahead of #WTMLondon2026. Discover the Pearl of Africa!
The Mountain Gorilla Festival is in a few weeks. This is how the media launch unfolded.
You can tell that we're even more intentional to address the challenges facing domestic tourism. We'll tackle one by one until we exhaust them. And then maintain!

Uganda Airlines takes off inaugural flight to Accra, Ghana. This is an intentional increase in the direct routes we operate. As we prepare for the upcoming AFCON, such moves are opening up doors. But also generally linking up destinations.
Kudos 👏

Congratulations to @UG_Airlines on the inaugural flight to Accra, Ghana. This milestone strengthens connectivity and opens new opportunities for tourism, trade and cultural exchange. At UTB, we continue to amplify these efforts through destination marketing and the Explore Uganda brand, taking the Pearl of Africa to more markets and travellers. #ExploreUganda #DestinationUganda
