In this week’s episode, we take a short walk through the village bordering Kibale National Park. It’s a lazy Sunday and everyone’s in a good mood: drivers wave hellos and boys herd goats.
Do all white ‘muzungu’ women look the same? I giggle with my neighbour as he mistakes me (for a friend I do not resemble in the least).
Tune in to hear:
- Friendly greetings on a gentle walk through the village.
- Birdsong and the joy of being back in the forest at Sunbird Hill.
- “Novel ways a podcast is promoting Ugandan tourism.” The Sunday Monitor newspaper publishes a feature all about the East Africa Travel Podcast.
- A preview of guests from upcoming episodes: Mzee Silver Kyamukama, a reformed poacher and local legend, and Ian Redmond OBE, renowned for his work with Dian Fossey and Sir David Attenborough.
- Lastly, what time is elephant o’clock and what does it signal?
