I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent 2 months in Kisiizi hospital in South-West Uganda over the summer. Having never been to Africa or travelled alone before I was very nervous and excited to discover what opportunities awaited me. The first time I saw the amazing rolling hills and banana plantations whilst driving from Rwanda to Uganda I fell in love with the ever-expanding beauty, and also became quickly acquainted with the African massage! Away from the bustle of the cities, the single dirt track to Kisiizi began to reveal pockets of villages and farming communities. I was immediately made to feel at home by the lovely guest house and hospital staff.
