In this first episode, join me – Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu - on a short walk along the edge of the tropical Kibale Forest in western Uganda, where you can hear: What is a muzungu? What did volunteers tell me about Uganda? What’s an elephant trench? Why do I call my wooden house a "glorified bird hide"? Where is Sunbird Hill?
