Christmas elephant seen from the MV Kazinga Queen Elizabeth National Park. The post May your Christmas be WILD with elephants and warthogs! appeared first on Diary of a Muzungu.
15 years ago this month, I waspacking up my lifein the UK as I prepared to fly to Uganda for the very first time Uganda was a blank page to me then. Queen Elizabeth National Park soon became my backyard. In the meantime, Diary of a Muzungu has been welcomed across East Africa.What a buzz its been.Thanks to everyone Ive met along the way!
Being a developing country, things change quickly here in Uganda: Ive never lived anywhere that evolves so fast. Uganda has mushrooming numbers of lodges and guides, new subjects such as adventure tourism and every other person I meet wants to join the industry, or so it feels. Were living in exciting times but not without their challenges which is why in 2024, Ill be focusing more on responsible tourism and sustainable tourism, my true passions. As I read last week:The tourist sector has both a wondrous opportunity to lead in global climate awareness and action, and a heavy responsibility to ensure the sustainable development of the tourist sector itself.
But enough of all that serious stuffITS THE HOLIDAYS!

Revisiting Queen Elizabeth National Park the Kazinga Channel
HO HO HO. My view from the MV Kazinga boat cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The Kazinga Channel water safari in the heart of QE is one of the countrys best wildlife experiences. Ive lost count of the times Ive done it. Kazinga Channel is a mecca for birdlovers. Photo taken November 2023.
