Africa Trip Leader

Francis Kyaligonza

Guide Since: 2007

Francis was born and raised in Entebbe, Uganda, and still resides there with his family near the shores of picturesque Lake Victoria. After completing secondary school, he pursued a career in tourism and earned a diploma in Tourism, Tours & Travel. Since 2007, he has honed his skills as a driver-guide throughout Uganda, and attended training courses in hotel management, tourism, and general guiding. Francis’ favorite animal is the elephant as “they carefully associate with other animals, peacefully, unless it acts in self-defense.” Francis enjoys interacting with people, Ugandans and visitors alike, and has a great sense of humor. He’s rarely seen without a smile on his face and is eager to share his passion for Uganda with his guests.
