“I highly recommend Fatumah as your guide in Kampala!”
I spent two action-packed days with Fatumah, walking all over the city, to markets and sights galore. She gave just enough context and history to make things interesting. On the second day, we shopped for ingredients to make a traditional Ugandan dish which we cooked at her aunt's house. Fatumah is a lovely person -- warm and friendly. Her love for her country and people is evident. I would not hesitate to hire her again if I were to find myself in Kampala again.
