A different experience!

30/09/2024

Almost 10 years ago, when I was still very active on the tourism roads, I met these incredible people.

Civy Tumusiime was a young lady who had just started managing her family business. She was full of energy and wanted to do what she thought her parents hadn't done. To improve services at Pakuba Lodge in Murchison Falls National Park, she sought services of Dave Southwood , the CEO of Safari Staff and Dave Southwood Photography.

Dave has a wealth of knowledge in hospitality so he was to train Pakuba Lodge staff. It's here that we first met. We first disagreed on the mode of training but later agreed that we mean well for the Tourism industry. A long story short, we have been friends since then.

Civy has not only expanded the family empire but has also moved a notch higher to become the Chairperson of the Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO). Coincidentally, I met Civy last weekend, soon after Launching Action 4 Rhinos organisation and just yesterday, Dave paid me a visit at Gahiza Island Retreat on Lake Mutanda. He is still taking magical shots to promote Uganda. Thank you Seith Byarugaba for bringing my friend to Gahiza. Our interests are still the same, promoting tourism and uplifting others.
