My story
I am by the names of Aliganyira Robert, I was born and raised in Queen Elizabeth National Park with other 9 siblings. I lived in the Park for 19 years until when my mother retired as a cook in one of the Lodges.
The love for nature thrived in me at an early age until today. Wildlife and I are inseparable and it can be evidenced by the trend I have taken throughout my career. I walked myself to school at an early age of primary level in the Park amidst wildlife like Buffaloes, Warthogs, Hippos, waterbucks, Elephants, Nile monitor Lizards among others. I was once privileged to be a friend to an Orphaned Elephant that grew from the community until it was old enough to join the rest in the wilderness. Moments like these created bond with Wildlife and developed survival instincts of the environment I lived.
By the time I decided to start a tour company, I have been a professional and licensed Tourist Guide for over 12 years and privileged to work with some of the biggest companies in Uganda. I have also guided in other countries like Rwanda and Kenya.
I have been part of various researches such as Banded Mangoose Research Project and Geology among others. Am also a certified Tourist Guides’ Assessor by Directorate of Industrial Training Institute of Uganda to examine competences of Tourist Guides before being licensed by Uganda Tourism Board as professionals.
