Ep. 3 Gorilla tracking in Uganda with the Nnaabagereka, Queen Sylvia of Buganda

from The East Africa Travel Podcast by Diary of a Muzungu · host Charlotte Beauvoisin, Diary of a Muzungu

Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to the world's biggest population of mountain gorillas. In this episode, I'm joined by my first guest, Her Royal Highness, the Nnaabagareka, Queen Sylvia Nagginda of Buganda Kingdom, patron of the NGO Conservation Through Public Health NGO, celebrating CTPH's 20 anniversary. Listen to our conversation to hear: Why was the Nnaabagareka tracking gorillas? Which gorilla family did she track in the forest? Why does she recommend Ugandans visit Bwindi? Why did I feel like crying when I first went to Bwindi? Why should we thank the gorillas? Welcome to my world!
