MY UGANDA MEMOIR X: SURPRISE! SURPRISE!!

Feb. 13, 2017,

We had just returned from the sunset cruise on the River Nile and made our way to the restaurant at Jinja Nile Resort. It had been a long but interesting day. Yes, it was my birthday, but I had no inkling what the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) had planned for me. We left Kampala early, setting off for Jinja, the place where the longest river in the world begins its journey. Jinja is also regarded as the Adventure Capital of East Africa.

Anyway, we had a stopover at Mabira Forest for some ziplining activities and the rain caught us there. We eventually arrived Jinja and barely settled in our rooms at the Jinja Nile resort before we were summoned for the sunset cruise. So, yeah it’s been a hectic day and I had even forgotten about my birthday when it all started at the restaurant…

I am grateful to everyone who made this possible: UTB, management of Jinja Nile Resort, friends and colleagues in the tourism industry. God bless you all. I love you.
