At the end of my last post on my recent East African adventure, which focused on my time in Kenya, we had managed to catch our flight to Uganda, with minutes to spare. Once I'd caught my breath, I sat back to enjoy the one-hour flight, passing over Lake Victoria before landing at the lakeside former Ugandan capital, Entebbe.

After two years of travelling abroad only twice and to short-haul destinations — Malta and Porto — I had the opportunity to travel to East Africa with work in January. Planning a trip that required visas and vaccines on top of the COVID requirements was a little overwhelming at short notice, but it was all worth it. I've never been to East Africa before and although I didn't have a lot of free time, I got a real taste of both Kenya and Uganda and can't wait to go back for a longer holiday.
