Pamoja Tours and Travel (Entebbe, UG)

A chain of miracles

However, [pamoja Tours and Travel] responded to my inquiries promptly and courteously, and was flexible in accommodating my requests.

Also, despite the private nature of the tour, they were more conscientious than other companies, so I highly recommend them.

My driver, Davis, kindly supported me, even though I don't speak English, and I was able to complete the 13-day tour safely and with wonderful memories. Without him, this miracle would never have happened.

"The Jewel of Uganda"
1. A dream I never gave up on became a reality.

A dream I had once given up on. To alleviate my anxiety, I decided to take the opposite route instead of the usual one, and as a result, I encountered a herd of silverbacks in just 30 minutes under clear skies!

And when the silverbacks suddenly came toward me, I was filled with joy and happiness that surpassed my fear.

2. A phantom leopard I had never seen before was right in front of me.

Riding with a ranger, I received quiet yet tense orders to move other vehicles out of the way. Only the lead vehicle was allowed to watch a leopard emerge from the bush right in front of us, walking and climbing a tree. After the other six vehicles had left, we had lunch in the car, making eye contact with the leopard.
Afterwards, we spent some relaxing time with two tree-climbing lions.
A miraculous event that money can't buy, and time passed quietly, filled with the utmost happiness.

③ The sight of a crippled king
During an evening game drive, a male lion lost his ankle in a trap while alone. Unable to reach his itchy body, he desperately licked it.
Learning of the unconditional love that continues to support his brother, I was moved to tears by the deep sadness and compassion. I hoped that he would survive.

④ Tattered clothes but shining eyes
Even in an orphanage or living in poverty, the innocence of children waving to us on the roadside soothes our hearts.
It was overflowing with the purity that we have lost without realizing it amidst an abundance of material things.

5. A people driven from the forest. The Batwa people were forced from their land as a price for protecting the gorillas, and they faced the harsh reality of extreme poverty, discrimination, and loss of their culture. They were smiling as they danced, but when it ended, a sense of loss overwhelmed them, and they felt a painful sadness.

There are many more stories to tell, but the people of Uganda were so kind that it felt like my heart was purified.

Please enjoy a wonderful trip with Pamoja Tours and Travel!
