NOW LIVE! Welcome back to season two of the award-winning East Africa Travel
Podcast
‘Kuli kayo!’ As we say in Luganda, meaning ‘Welcome back‘
In episode 21 of the East Africa Travel Podcast by Diary of a Muzungu, I’m at
Sunbird Hill on the edge of Kibale National Park, recording trumpeting elephants and
reflecting on how the sounds of the Ugandan jungle have traveled from my home to
yours – from the streets of Paris to the trains of Lisbon.
