The shrine is one of Africa’s largest pilgrimage sites, drawing millions every 3rd June from across regions, languages, and countries in a shared expression of faith. Culturally, it reflects Uganda’s rich diversity and holds deep emotional and spiritual weight for all visitors to the Pearl of Africa. It is a very significant tourist destination, if you take time to understand it’s history😉

Uganda Wins Bid to Host 19th World Congress on Environmental Health in 2028 Uganda will host the 19th World Congress on Environmental Health (WCEH 2028) in Kampala, a global event for environmental health professionals, researchers, and policymakers. The bid by the Environmental Health Workers Association of Uganda (EHWAU), with support from the Ministry of Health, Makerere University and the Uganda Tourism Board, was confirmed by the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH). Held biennially, WCEH addresses issues like climate change, food safety, urban health, and public health systems. The 2028 event expects 1,500 delegates over five days, with an estimated economic impact of UGX 9.68 billion. It offers opportunities for Uganda’s private sector, including hotels, airlines, and transport services. Read more here: kaributravel.co.ug/uganda-wins-bi…

PRESIDENT WILLIAM RUTO vs EAC President @WilliamsRuto has suggested that East Africa phone calls should all work like domestic phone calls! Great idea especially if Tanzania, Kenya , Rwanda and Ugandan leadership agrees to that. EAC AVIATION TAXES While the phone calls issue is important, I think even more important all East African flights should be considered as domestic flights too! A flight between Nairobi and Entebbe will attract more than usd 100 in taxes and yet a flight between Nairobi and Mombasa will be usd 4.65. Tanzania flight taxes are about usd 90 making a flight between Nairobi and Kilimanjaro airport usd 140 in taxes alone. Yet usd 140 should actually be the cost of a ticket between Nairobi and Kilimanjaro airport in Tanzania. Interestingly, the tickets between Dubai and Nairobi are cheaper than entebbe Nairobi at any time. What East African countries are saying directly is that we better have business between us and Dubai than trading within east Africa. The faster and affordably entrepreneurs can move between places, the more business that will be between those places and East African countries shouldn’t short change themselves. For a country like Uganda which is landlocked stands yet expensive access by road, unless rail and aviation becomes cheaper, leaders will be spending time explaining how well we are doing with no reality on the ground. People love moving cheaply and will be happy to spend more on doing business or accommodation or entertainment etc. As long as movement between East African countries is expensive, Intra trade will massively be affected.

The True Size of Uganda 🇺🇬

It’s a thrill to see global stars like Maisie Williams visit the Pearl of Africa. Her journey to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park perfectly captures why #DestinationUganda is, in her own words, the "Gold Standard" for ethical wildlife tourism. From rare sightings to life-changing connections, this is conservation in action. To East Africans and the rest of the world, the gorillas are waiting. #ExploreUganda now. A girl appreciated our conservation efforts. 😊

Meet the Mountain Gorilla, a gentle giant and one of the world’s rarest primates. Living in close knit families led by a dominant silverback, they are intelligent, social, and deeply protective. Despite their strength, they are calm herbivores, feeding on leaves, shoots, and fruits. Uganda is home to 27 habituated gorilla groups, 26 in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and 1 in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park offering one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences on Earth. #VisitUganda #Conservation #MountainGorillas
