Dear Guest, Your Trees at Entanda are now Flowering!
As part of our commitment to a better world, we ensure that all our visitors plant a tree, among other initiatives. Over the past eight years, focus has been on both fruit and medicinal trees. From the older trees, we are enjoying the fruits, and have been privileged to serve the same fruits to our guests.
As for all our visitors of 2022, there is good news! Your trees have started flowering!
Who will Harvest Queen Elizabeth II's trees in Uganda?
If you have been to Fortportal, perhaps you have seen those magnificent tall eucalyptus trees in the Mpanga valley opposite the Toro Golf course.

A coffee Bean turns into a cow in Uganda!
If you have ever studied African history, there is a big chance that you learnt about the Chwezi dynasty! You must have learnt that these guys were Demi gods, able to do things that no one else did. A good example is here.
Competing for Market Share is for Failures, Winners Go for Opportunity Share!
Early this year, I read with interest arguments from a number of investors, policy makers and scholars on a local tourism thinktank in Uganda. The topic was whether wildlife tourism is better than cultural tourism for Uganda going forward. Many of them missed the real point!
Ancient African women invested a lot of time on Romance!
Romance is something that was rarely a public topic in many parts of ancient Africa. Children would rarely learn about it until they were of age. Even then, such matters would be spoken about privately. And the tools used, the words, the slogans, and everything about it were kept away from the public and the children. A lot of sexually oriented words as well as the sexual body parts were forbidden in public. Kids would get a beating for mentioning them. But we learnt that such words were loved by the adults when between the sheets!
