Conquering the Honeymoon

The Pearl of Africa

Kampala-Uganda

After a stopover in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and more for a couple of hours stranded there waiting for the next plane, sleeping in the waiting room and eating some snacks. Finally they arrive at Entebbe International Airport near Kampala (Capital of Uganda). The next adventure is to take a safari in one of the national parks most visited by tourists and visit some peculiar places in the capital.

The canine couple were sitting in the hotel waiting room waiting for their private guide who would take them to see a few well-known places in the capital and then head to the Queen Elizabeth National Park where they would spend half the time there living with the wonderful animals. of the savanna. The guide is Kibwe, a 32-year-old man who has 10 years of experience in providing private tours to foreign tourists throughout the capital. He speaks 5 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese. Also, he is an expert in zoology and works as an assistant in the same national park.

The couple receives him and introduces themselves, shaking hands, showing their smiles without shyness or embarrassment.

-Well Mr. Kibwe, this will really be amazing for us. Thank you for the service- Mr.Wolf says

-No problem. You really wanted to visit this place. Let's hope no lion is going to eat us - he says while they exchange laughter with his joke

-Let's hope not. Or rather, be prepared, no love?- He said

-What do you say, baby? Do not say stupid things. Everything is going to be great- Diane answered

-Just forget it! It was dumb my answer. Let's just have fun- he said before taking the vehicle to heading down to the Bahai Temple.

The first stop begins at the Bahai temple, a quite peculiar place known for its silence that surrounds it thanks to the singing of birds and the incredible view that the place offers to the city.

Kibwe walks through that peculiar regular giving a brief explanation about the Bahai religion that turned out to be new to the canine couple. Both take photographs including the surroundings and later go to the Kampala market for lunch and resume the tour to the next destination: Kabaka Palace.This palace can be visited only for its gardens and exteriors since it is the residence of the king of Buganda and the president of the republic. There is also an enclosure. In the enclosure you can see an adjacent site that became a prison and torture and execution chamber built by Idi Amin, the dictator who ruled after the country's independence in the 70s.

This left the couple shocked as they saw Kibwe with a sad look when talking about this well-known former president who turned out to be a dictator who caused the death of innocent lives in that decade. Diane felt sorry for this situation so she encourages Kibwe to continue with the tour while they leave the palace.

During the journey, Kibwe tells them one of his personal free activities is playing soccer, listening to foreign music and writing his anecdotes as a guide in his personal diary. Diane and Wolf also decided to talk about his personal tastes, during which smiles and laughter were exchanged. Kibwe likes to see tourists who are couples who decide to visit their native country to spend their romantic adventures in the savanna with the animals up close.After a long route taken, they arrive at the national park where they pay the ticket allowing entry to a prominent park guard who carried a tranquilizer rifle for any extreme situation and a walkie talkie. His name is Imamu, a 30-year-old young man who has been working for almost 2 years but is passionate about nature and animals.
