Uganda
Romesh visits Uganda, where is he hosted by a princess who attempts to expand his knowledge of the stunning country beyond the brutal dictator Idi Amin.
Romesh Ranganathan explores Uganda, its people and culture, its past and its modern complexity, to find out whether Brits should add this this visually stunning, landlocked country the size of the UK to their holiday bucket list.
With his guide, Bugandan princess Alex, Romesh learns about Uganda鈥檚 history before and after Idi Amin and how Uganda got its name, before sampling traditional rural village life by getting blind drunk on banana gin (of unknown alcohol strength).
Rom is awed by Uganda鈥檚 natural beauty but is unable to ignore an ugly truth. Will the treatment of the LGBTQ+ community in Uganda in the wake of the widely supported and recently passed anti-gay laws force him to come to an uncomfortable conclusion about his time in the country?
