Uganda Travel Podcast with Daniel Okello

About Uganda Travel Podcast with Daniel Okello

This podcast is about travelling in Uganda the way you would if you had months and seasons to spare. Uganda is landlocked and fertile, a plateau rimmed by mountains, with Lake Victoria along its southern edge. Most people live in the central and south, and travel follows that shape. The host covers the country by living in it: Kampala first, then the Lake Victoria shore, then Fort Portal at the edge of the Rwenzori Mountains, and Kidepo Valley in the dry northeast. Along the way he follows the rivers, markets and footpaths that connect Uganda's plateau. The show unfolds across Uganda's two dry seasons and the long rains, returning to places he has already visited to see them change. Each episode builds on the last, so by the time he leaves a town, the listener has learned its rhythms, its names and the way daily life shifts with the water. Daniel Okello lives in Uganda and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Daniel is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
