An African safari is a bucket list destination for many people and we could talk for hours, days, maybe even weeks about our trip to Uganda. Today we're just sticking to how we picked the country, what we experienced while we were there and what we would do differently. We're going to leave a future episode to discuss what to expect on African safaris in general. 

What we cover in today's podcast: 

• Why Uganda- what led us to choosing this rather unconventional country for our first trip to Africa
• Some of our crazy experiences like white river rafting on the Nile River, Roasting coffee beans and making matoke with a local and, of course, Gorilla Trekking
• Why a tour company can really make or break your African safari experience
