It was a year of travel – for both fun and for research – with fascinating conversations across Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya on the award-winning East Africa Travel Podcast by Diary of a Muzungu.

Planning a trip to Uganda or East Africa?
There’s a ton of info online and a lot of it is out of date. AI-generated itineraries look impressive but can be totally misleading (out of date pricing, non-existent lodges, unrealistic journey times and more). How do I know? I’ve tried them!
