THREAD ALERT:

Today I was thinking about how Nyanza waterways (MV Natalie and sister boat) and Brovad sands( MV brovad) are changing face of lake Victoria.

This country has been blessed with very many water bodies and yes, no other country in Africa has as many rivers and... ImageImageImage
lakes like Uganda including source of the Nile and Lake Victoria( World largest troical lake)

I was telling a friend, it's only in a poor country where the rich live in Kololo and the average like me( even me bambi) by lakes like.
I told him from my traveling experience, lakes are gold mines for those who live next to them.

I read a report(i need to find that report and I think it was by world bank) stating that Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania miss earning close to $63bn annually from just being able to have
lake Victoria.

People with foresight are slowly starting to buy properties around crater lakes, river Nile, lake Victoria because these properties won't be affordable in future. In Egypt, if your great great grand father never bought land around River Nile, you can't afford to
to live on the banks of that river.

If we don't utilise especially lake Victoria, the Chinese will ask us to exchange our big debts/loans with lake Victoria. Just watch!
The report talked about fishing opportunities, transport opportunities and marine tourism opportunities. It was a research report done over years and as a people, we need to pay attention to this. Once in a while, we need to debate this!
Anyways, Nyanza waterways and brovad sands are both leading the way in opening peoples eyes and as pioneers, I personally appreciate their efforts and things are going to change slowly but surely and it's us who will make the difference.
Attached are pictures of MV Brovad and they are both doing mainly one island called Bugala island but the Sseses are 84 beautiful islands all together ...

GENESIS OF UGANDA LODGES LTD (part 1)

Like everything in life, you don't need to know the end from the start because you will be learning so much along the way and that's why no one should lie to you about the so many secrets of doing business.
In 2001 April, I started up @SafarisUganda and the biggest motivation I had, I have already written/spoken about it many times before. Ofcourse I had acquired tourism basic skills and the rest I would learn on the job like in everything we do in life.
We spent 9 months in briefcase as a business and that means I had a bag that had our invoice book, receipts and sometimes would host my Nokia phone. I would issue an invoice and a receipt anytime business came by.

Good morning UOT,
Hope y'all are ready for another long thread.

Being a Friday, Let's talk about MARRIAGE.
Last month, I wrote a piece on FB about kylan our son and his travels from Nairobi by public means and how my wife wasn't rightly amused for like 3 days. For 3 days, no peace at home until guy arrived Home.
A guy on my wall made an interesting comment, he said "Even you who has married an American still faces the same problems like me who married from deep in Kabale?" I realised I needed to write something about marriage.

THREAD:
Two weeks ago, I walked down from Signiture Apartments where we were staying in Jinja along Nalufenya Road to send some mobile money to someone.
Since I know myself very well, I don't have a mobile money number and sometimes I make sure I don't even have ATM card on me. Besides, business people don't always have money in cash.
Money is very hard to make, very hard to maintain, even harder is growing it. You must work and think hard while dealing with it.

Just like you ask yourself, how am I going to make money, also ask yourself how am I going to spend it. Make it part of your reasoning.
