Tourist Guide

In the foothills of Ssembabule is where I grew up from, the place was covered by rush green bushes harbouring different species of animals, plants, birds. Growing up in such an environment was itself a great inspiration to learn and know more about what Uganda "the pearl of Africa" has to offer. In addition was my mother who liked telling us cultural stories, teaching us traditional songs and dances. 



As if all wasn't enough but when I joined secondary school and studied Geography, I enjoyed fieldwork so so much an indicator of the love for travel and tourism, in 2012 I was in S3 and we embarked on a trip to Kasese in Western Uganda it was a great inspiration too crowning it up was when I joined Bishop Stuart University in 2016 and persued my Bachelor's degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management during this period, everything was full of adventure, we loved hiking and exploring the nearby and new places around, from there, I went to Africa institute of Tourism and field guiding where I persued my Certificate in Tourist guiding and since then, I have never looked back, adventure became part of my life and every day comes with lifers especially the beautiful birds.
