Pedal powered, purpose driven! 🚴‍♂️🇺🇬
​We had the privilege of joining key tourism stakeholders at the Sheraton Hotel for the official launch of the Race the Nile-Uganda Ultra 2026 (5 Days – 800 KM)!
​Our Lead Guide, Johnnie Kamugisha, took the stage to share some inspiring thoughts on endurance, wellness, and responsible travel:
​Pushing Boundaries: Drawing from his personal journey—from long-distance running to cycling all the way to the summit of Mt. Wanale in Mbale City—he highlighted how staying active keeps sickness at bay. 🏃‍♂️🚴
​Supporting Big Movements: Johnnie rallied support for the Race the Nile Ultra, celebrating it as a power-packed initiative showcasing Uganda’s stamina, beauty, and sports tourism potential. 🙌
​Eco-Friendly Travel: He issued a strong call to action for every traveler, athlete, and local: let’s protect the Pearl of Africa by taking a zero-tolerance stance against littering! 🌿🚮
​Let’s gear up to explore Uganda responsibly!

From scanning the skies for a rare bird call to mentoring the next generation of African safari guides, few people live and breathe the wild quite like Johnnie.
​Over 25 years ago, Johnnie Kamugisha set out into the Ugandan wilderness with a pair of binoculars, a passion for wildlife, and a big dream: to share the magic of the Pearl of Africa with the world.
​Today, as the founder of Johnnie Uganda Safaris, he has done just that. Johnnie has guided travelers from every corner of the globe to spot their dream wildlife—from the iconic, prehistoric Shoebill Stork to the lions of the savanna. But his legacy goes even deeper. Over the years, Johnnie has poured his heart into training and mentoring countless young guides, passing on his deep knowledge and building a community of passionate stewards for Africa's nature.
​On his birthday, we celebrate a true legend, master guide, and mentor.
​Here’s to many more miles on the trail, rare bird sightings, and lives touched across the world. Happy Birthday, Johnnie! 🥂🐘🇺🇬
