There are moments when you simply need to slow down and enjoy where you are.

This afternoon, I am seated at the restaurant at Mihingo Lodge, taking in this spectacular view with a cup of African coffee and a slice of lemon cake. ☕🍋

I learnt that in Germany, there is a beautiful tradition of enjoying coffee and cake between 4pm and 6pm. They call it Kaffee und Kuchen.

I am happily borrowing that tradition. 😊

Good coffee. Good cake. A beautiful view. A quiet moment.

Sometimes, happiness is not complicated at all. It is simply sitting still long enough to notice how blessed you are.

Mihingo is definitely a beautiful place to pause, breathe and savour Uganda. 🇺🇬❤️

😭🦁 PRAY FOR JACOB, THE LION AMPUTEE!

A heartbreaking encounter unfolded this morning in the Kasenyi Plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

At around 10:45 AM today, 8 September 2026, Jacob, the famous lion with an amputated limb, I witnessed this heartbreaking attacked by a manancing buffalo along the Kobs Lake Track.

💔 We can only hope and pray that Jacob escaped with no major injuries.

He has already overcome so much. 🙏🦁 Let’s hope this brave warrior pulls through once again. I already communicates the incident to James if the Lion tracking & Experiencial project. @⁨Dr. James Musinguzi UWA E.D⁩ @⁨Ms. Dorcus Rukundo T.

At Murchison falls National park “Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest antelope, or it will starve. Every morning, an antelope wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be eaten. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or an antelope. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

From fear to freedom.
After months of unrest in Bukatu, a 3.5-ton giant now walks safely within Kibale’s embrace proof that when people and wildlife are protected together, coexistence is possible. uganda
