Yoo hoo!
The East Africa Travel Podcast has been a labour of love… my biggest project in many a year… with many long nights… and a steep learning curve. If you’ve noticed I’ve been quiet for a while, now you know why!
Are you ready? It’s easy to listen to the Podcast section of Diary of a Muzungu – just click here
The East Africa Travel Podcast is inspired by life on the edge of Uganda’s Kibale Forest
It’s a National Park famous for chimpanzees, forest elephants & African grey parrots.
Listen to the podcast for birdsong, travel advice, lively chats (& strictly positive vibes with a long list of brilliant conservationists in Africa and beyond, along with glowing endorsements from visitors from around the world).
The East Africa Travel Podcast launched in April 2024 with a Trailer and the first few episodes.
Where do I start?
- The 3 minute Trailer. You’ll LOVE the beginning!
- Episode 1 Welcome to my world! sets the scene with a glimpse of life at Sunbird Hill, Kibale Forest. I know you’ll love the forest sounds…
- Episode 2 Chimps, elephants and how I ended up in Uganda.
- Episode 3, tune in to my conversation with the Nnaabagereka, Queen Sylvia of Buganda after she returns from gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka.
- Episode 4, Tickling a rhino and bowing to the Shoebill is my conversation with Rob Walker, the British sports commentator and Uganda’s official sports tourism ambassador. His excitement is infectious!
- UPDATE: season 1 comprises 20 episodes, all now live!

Thanks for all your comments and questions. I LOVE hearing from you!
Wonderful podcast, noises of the African night, the singing of the birds by day! All to be enjoyed, and even better to go there and see and hear for yourself. Africa still has a dawn chorus!
You’re right: Africa – or certainly the villages and the bush – does still have a life-affirming variety of dawn choruses.
Here in Diani on Kenya’s Indian Ocean this week, I’m hearing rather different nocturnal noises: dwarf bushbabies!
They woke me up three times last night. I keep reaching for my recorder, but haven’t managed to capture their sound yet… I will keep trying (just for you). x
Thanks to everyone who has listened to the first 18 episodes!
What do you think so far? Where should I travel to next?
