Tour guide in Kampala Frank W.

When I finished Makerere University, some of my friends became lawyers and others went to build for other careers as well. They bought suits, had offices and began "real life. " I took a very different step. At 22 years of age, armed with a degree in Art, I accepted a job driving tourists around Uganda. No power suits or office, just my plain clothes. Technically, I was a "tour driver. " My job was to driver tourists around — large and small— for groups from various Countries to different National Parks and other parts of the Country. More than 10 years now, I cannot count how many tours I have made up to now. Let me tell you: leading large groups of tourists was always a different experience. Expectations were always different groups. But I loved and enjoyed every minute of it. For me, it was an amazing, maturing experience and I still love guiding. I am a fully registered member of the Uganda Safari Guides Association and have been trained by them as well.
