Traveling Uganda

In her heartfelt poem, 11-year-old Jasmine Willis takes us on a sensory-rich journey through Uganda's wilderness. She paints a vivid picture of a jeep safari, where the sounds of crickets chirping and baboons calling from the treetops fill the air. The warm breeze rustles the grass, and the red dirt roads wind past towering termite mounds.
Jasmine was inspired to write her vivid poem "Goodnight, Uganda" after a memorable safari experience with us. Her verses capture the sensory richness of Uganda. The poem reflects her deep connection with nature, highlighting the tranquility and profound feelings evoked by the surroundings.

Jeep safari in Uganda, we’re driving across the ground,
If you listen closely, you can hear every sound.
The crickets chirping, the baboons in the trees,
The grass swaying in the warm, calm breeze.

Feed your eyes and see all around,
The red dirt roads, the bumpy termite mounds.
The bright yellow weavers twittering in the sky,
The people on boda-bodas passing by.

There is hot, flowing air swirling all around me,
The mosquitoes are invading my personal space.
If you stop… and feel, you sense what’s around,
Tranquillity and zen, feelings so profound.

I've seen chimps, giraffes and elephants, I really am thrilled,
My tastebuds have been tickled, and my senses have been filled. Now, tiredness rocks through me at a sleepy pace,
Goodnight, Uganda, I’ve loved your verdant space.
