@MattheExplorer 🤣

I’ve tried reading something from this book, but honestly… I don’t understand a single thing 😂📚

@AWFCEO @skaheru My heartfelt condolences

There are people born not to be here long — and yet, in her 18 years, Yzeera, our daughter changed institutions and touched more lives than most do in a lifetime. The world, and our family, have lost a bright light. My family and I are deeply grateful for every condolence, every message, and every quiet act of kindness we have received since the terrible news. Your love, and your gracious understanding that we needed space, has held us through the hardest days. Grief has a way of clarifying what truly matters. Yzeera reminded me — in the way she lived — that legacy is not about longevity. It is about depth of impact. I am holding this conviction close in all that I do going forward. I return to this space with a quieter heart, but a renewed lens on how @AWF_Official can achieve its vision. Again, I thank you all for your patience as I ease back into my new normal.

From gorilla tracking to chimpanzee experiences, from breathtaking landscapes to warm community encounters, Uganda offered something rare: A destination that does not merely entertain travellers. It transforms them. For Australia’s travel market, Uganda presents a powerful long-haul proposition: Adventure. Wildlife. Culture. Conservation. Wellness. Story. The High commissioner Samali Dorothy Hyuha emphasised collaborations. @JulzKagwa @TourismBoardUg #Poate2026

🇬🇧🇺🇬 As the UK Hosted Buyers landed in the Pearl of Africa, Uganda’s High Commissioner @UGHighCommLDN, Amb. Nimisha Madhvani & team, had already designed a trip to connect tourism, conservation, culture, hospitality, trade, and investment under Uganda’s Economic and Commercial Diplomacy agenda. From the tropical shores of Lake Victoria to the misty gorilla highlands of Bwindi. From the thunder of Murchison Falls to rhino tracking at Ziwa. From @ngambaisland and the sacred @KasubiTombs to the global tourism stage at #POATE202 Every destination revealed a different chapter of Uganda’s story. #POATE2026 #ExploreUganda #VisitUganda #PearlOfAfrica #UgandatoUK

POATE 2026 final preparations are in high gear at the Speke Resort Convention Centre 🔥🔥 We look forward to hosting you all from the 21st -23rd May for a full blown experience of Uganda and her tourism value chain. #exploreuganda #poate2026 #wanderlust

What a powerful weekend in Jinja! @GITA_Africa and @misstourismUga planted trees, cleaned up Rippon Gardens, marched through the streets, lit up campfires with traditional music & dance at the Uganda Railway Museum, and celebrated “Museums Uniting The World” at Jinja Rugby Grounds. From beadwork and barkcloth to multi-generational pride, it's proved heritage isn’t just history — it’s a living bridge connecting people, cultures, and a greener future.#IMDUganda2026 #GITAatIMD
