Country 30/196: Uganda Destinations: Kampala, Entebbe Due to the extremely popular gorilla tracking tours in Uganda, its lovely capital is often overlooked, which is a shame, since Kampala offers a lot of beautiful sites, including various tombs, parks, churches, and mosques. Besides, the lovely lakeside town of Entebbe is just an hour away from the capital.…

Country 23/196: Djibouti Destinations: Lake Assal and Djibouti We always try to visit the country’s Nr. 1 attraction, but sometimes it can’t be done because it’s too dangerous or too far from the airport and sometimes we do visit the place but we end up kinda disappointed since the place looks much better on the…
