Happy Happy 2024!

Welcome to a new issue and a new year! I started this year off with big goals and big plans in mind and I am going to try to achieve as many of them as I can. One of my big plans is to visit as many safari lodges as I can — at least the ones I haven’t been fortunate to visit in Uganda… and I plan to start with the ones mentioned in this issue of the magazine.

“Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.” – Maya Angelou

Check out the featured reviews on Chimpundu Lodge, Emburara Farm Lodge and Honey Bear Bush Camp. If it’s adventure you are after this year, then read all about the adventure activities you can do in our Adventure Tourism Uganda feature from hiking to cycling, to canoeing and biking to climbing the Rwenzori’s. Whatever you choose to do this year, Uganda has it all!

 

In the words of Pablo Picasso, “Everything you can imagine is real”

 

Enjoy this issue.

About Jan Bakker

I visited the Rwenzoris in 2017 and that trip changed the course of my life. Within 2 years I moved to Uganda with my family, as I was very impressed with all the things adventure you can do here. Since then I have travelled to most (mountainous) corners of the country, either professionally as a hiking guide, travel writer and trainer, or climbing mountains and mountain biking purely for pleasure. There’s still a lot to explore so I’ll stick around for a while!
