You told your story, and Uganda roared back!
@PrillarNamisi took us on a wild ride through Murchison Falls — where the lions roared, the hippos chilled, and the waterfall nearly stole the show.
"Uganda really said National Geographic, but make it personal!"
And that's exactly what #TellYour StoryUG is all about - real adventures, real voices.

@emburara has given me all the insight I needed about the iconic Ankole long-horned cows and trust me, there’s so much more to them than just their beauty.
We’re packaging all this into a full YouTube video soon, and I can’t wait for you guys to watch and enjoy!
In the meantime, I’ve been living the experience;
I’ve been in the kraal, milking cows - “okukama ente” - and grazing them - “okulunda”. I even learned that the Banyankole give each cow a name based on its personality, appearance, or behavior.
Some of the names I came across include Kakondo, Kiroko, Kagoro, Kakome, Kyasina, Barasi, and Karanje. These names hold sentimental value and are often passed down through generations.
These majestic creatures aren’t just livestock - they are a symbol of wealth, pride, love, and identity in Ankole culture.
1. In marriage, they form a vital part of the bride price (omutwalo), symbolising the groom's ability to provide.
2. In society, the number of cows a man owns elevates his status and respect within the community.
3. In ceremonies, cows are a source of milk, meat, and ghee - staples in traditional Ankole meals like eshabwe (a rich ghee sauce served with millet or matooke).
4. Culturally, they represent continuity - a family with cows is seen as rooted, grounded, and blessed. And beyond all, the care for these cows teaches patience, discipline, and deep respect for nature.
Honestly, being this close to them has opened my eyes to a way of life that’s both grounded and deeply poetic.
Now, before I head out - is there anything you think I should check out next in Western Uganda?

“Bridging Tradition and Progress”
This is a personal invitation from your Uganda Consul General in Guangzhou - an invitation to journey through Uganda’s hidden gems, to stand face-to-face with the majestic wild life, and to imagine yourself in a land where every sunrise is an adventure waiting to unfold.
Uganda is calling, will you answer?
Thank you, @emburara, for being such an incredible host to me and the team. The hospitality, the depth of cultural knowledge, and the rich heritage you shared were nothing short of exceptional.
This wasn’t just a stay - it was a full cultural immersion. I’m leaving here with a deeper appreciation for Ankole traditions, and a heart full of gratitude.
Till next time🤝
Now, there is this park that is so special to me in Western Uganda, care to guess?🦓🐎
#ExploreUganda #UniquelyOurs
Evening vibes from Lake Mburo National Park, this is easily my second favourite park in Uganda, right after Kidepo of course🌄
I've just arrived at @MihingoLodge, and let me tell you - this place is something special. Perched atop a rocky hill, the lodge seamlessly blends into the natural landscape, constructed using local materials like stone, wood, and thatch
The views from up here? Pure madness🙌
Lake Mburo might be small, but it hits different - especially because you can do things like walking safaris and even horse riding inside the park. Yep, tomorrow we ride horses through the wild🤞
For now, lemme catch some sleep... nange nkoye ehhh😁
