For a district whose international image has not always fully captured the magnificence of its natural beauty, the warmth of its people and the immense potential of its tourism economy, the Tusker Lite @RwenzoriMarathn #tuskerliterwenzorimarathon2026 has presented Kasese with a powerful opportunity to tell a different story to Uganda, Africa and the world!

This morning, more than 8000 participants from over 42 countries took to the beautiful streets of Kasese town to run the incredible @RwenzoriMarathn. They were flagged off by Minister of State for @Educ_SportsUg @OgwangOgwang with Minister of State for @MTWAUganda Hon. Susan Nsambu Nakawukyi alongside @TourismBoardUg CEO @JulzKagwa, @ugwildlife ED, PS @PSKatusiimeDor, Ambassadors, @NCSUGANDA1 and other officials. @PaulAmoru

Earlier today, Minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Hon. Col. Tom R.Butime officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kikorongo Equator Monument for the expansion and construction of an Information Centre, Restaurant and related tourism facilities, Kasese District.

This UGX 9.7 billion project, being implemented by Kwed Construction Limited, marks a significant investment in enhancing Uganda’s tourism infrastructure and expanding visitor experience. The @ugwildlife further supported the project by providing 2.7 acres of land for the development.

The new facilities will include:
●An Information and Interpretation Centre showcasing the significance of the Equator, the Rwenzori ecosystem, and the area’s rich heritage.
●A restaurant and rest area to improve visitor comfort.
●Two thematic museums focusing on Uganda’s Equatorial geography and the cultural heritage of the Rwenzori region.
●A viewing deck offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and wildlife corridor.
●Expanded parking space for tour buses and private vehicles.
●Craft shops and a cultural market to promote local artisans and support community livelihoods.

This development underscores the Government’s commitment to strengthening tourism infrastructure, enriching visitor experiences, product diversification, conserving Uganda’s heritage and creating sustainable economic opportunities for surrounding communities. Minister Butime was escorted by Officials from Ministry of Tourism, UWA ED, Dr.James Musinguzi and officials from UWA, the Kwed Construction Limited representatives, local Government and media. @TourismBoardUg @BasilAjer

Representing MTWA as Chief Guest at the inaugural National Biodiversity and Conservation Research Conference, Dr. @BasilAjer underscored the importance of sustaining momentum in conservation research by ensuring findings are published, shared widely, and embedded within the work of both the Ministry and @ugwildlife. He stressed that evidence on its own is not enough unless it is translated into practical action, calling for closer alignment between research, policy, and implementation. Dr. Ajer applauded researchers and academia for producing the knowledge needed to guide conservation efforts and support sustainable development.
He also reiterated @GovUganda commitment to advancing research, innovation, ecosystem restoration, and evidence-led conservation, emphasizing that the true value of research lies in the impact it creates on the ground. @ExploreUganda @TourismBoardUg @UwrtiI @ugandamuseums @UWEC_EntebbeZoo @ngambaisland

Good news from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

The Mishaya Gorilla Family in Rushaga has welcomed a newborn baby, increasing the group's membership from 9 to 10 individuals.

The baby's mother is Bashekura (Adult Female), adding another exciting chapter to the family's story and a positive milestone for mountain gorilla conservation.

On this special day when we are unable to celebrate as we normally would due to the Ebola pandemic,
may we reflect on the martyrs who died for our faith.

Happy Martyrs Day from Chimp Trails Africa Ltd.

📌 Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally 2026

As I represented H.E the President @KagutaMuseveni at the flagging off ceremony of the 2026 edition of the #ShellVPower Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally in Mbarara the other day, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far motorsport has come for Uganda and the international event it has morphed into.

The #PearlofAfricaRally is among Uganda’s premier international sporting and tourism events attracting over 100,000 fans at the event and many following online.

Over the years, the rally has consistently positioned Uganda among Africa’s leading motorsport destinations with this year’s competition attracting 19 foreign crews from Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Burundi and India.

This demonstrates growing international confidence in Uganda’s ability to host world-class sporting events. I commend the relentless efforts for the organisers, @MotorsportUG, partnering entities - @ShellVPowerRT @AskKCBUganda, @TourismBoardUg, @LakeViewHotelUG among others, crews and the loyal fans that flock Mbarara year in year out for the races.
