Nyambya Tea Company is a family owned and operated tea factory in Western Uganda located in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains.
The tea plantations were originally partially planted in the late 1960’s and over the years additional planted areas have been added. In 2010 our own tea factory was commissioned in order to cope with increasing volume of Green Leaf from our plantations and neighbouring farmers. (www.nyambyatea.com)

The things you learn while travelling. I did not know that Uganda produced tea, yet here, in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains is a thriving business provided needed jobs in the region.

The Rothschild Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) is among the most endangered giraffe subspecies with only a few hundred members in the wild. It is named after the famous family of the Tring Museum's founder, Lord Walter Rothschild, and is also known as the Baringo Giraffe, after the Lake Baringo area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan Giraffe. All of those that are living in the wild are in protected areas in Kenya and Uganda. (Recently it has been proposed that the Rothschild Giraffe is actually a separate species from other giraffes and not a giraffe subspecies).

This photo is from 1999 when i traveled to Uganda a few months after the gorilla trekking tourist killings had occured. The country lost most of its tourism in the wake of this massacre so there were very few vehicles with white people traveling the country. Children all over could hear our vehicle approaching and would run out of their houses yelling and waving "How are you?" We were more of an attraction to them than the gorillas were to us.

The sight of a lone child in a field of portaloos is the stark reminder of the countless orphans created by these conflicts. And still... they waive at you as you pass.
