Meet the Local
Hi! My name is Noah, and it is my pleasure to meet you. Being a tour guide has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I received a Degree in Tourism and Hotel Management at the University, and since then I have been a professional tour guide for over nine years. I founded Uganda Crater Lakes Tours four years ago, a tour agency specializing in eco-tourism in the Fort Portal region. Uganda Crater Lakes Tours has grown and today we are in a fortunate position to be able to contribute to the villages through a community program, where we sponsor part of the school fees and items for children to attend school. I grew up in Lyantonde village in the Rwaihamba Parish Ruteete sub-county, which is in the Kabarole District in Fort Portal. I am fluent in English, and speak over ten local Ugandan languages. I am also passionate about helping the community and youths in the region. In my spare time, I serve in several offices concerning youths and hold positions in the District Youth Council. My purpose is to teach youths about eco-tourism and entrepreneurship, and to empower them with a brighter and sustainable future. I am thirty two years old this year, and together with my wife Unity, we are the proud parents of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl aged three and seven years old. Come visit the natural beauty and warm people that makes Uganda a fascinating destination. I look forward to welcoming you and being your trusted guide in the Fort Portal region!
