"Traveling to Uganda, I didn’t know what to expect—but it captured my heart completely. It’s one of the most breathtakingly beautiful countries I’ve ever seen, with wildlife encounters that felt almost surreal. The service was exceptional, and the people… they are, without question, the warmest and most welcoming I’ve met anywhere in the world. Uganda left a part of itself with me, and I know I’ll carry it with me always."
