queen of katweUganda the pearl of Africa as it is popularly referred to boasts of a range of natural bio diversity and man-made heritage that have for long made it a favorable visitation ground for Uganda safari undertakers. Holding the ordinary safaris like wildlife safaris, gorilla trekking safaris, and chimpanzee trekking safaris aside, the country is increasingly becoming popular destination for Holly wood movie productions and the famous stars that come along with them.
This is seen as one of the opportunities through which Uganda can utilize to promote its self as a tourist destination with a film legacy of the remarkable spectacular scenery that offer movie back drops. The famous Oscar-winning star of the 12 Years a Slave the Lupita Nyong’o is on a safari in Uganda for shooting of the Mira Nair- directed film Queen of Katwe and the Official Uganda which is steadily catching the news. The film aims at portraying Phionah Mutesi’s career in the chess fraternity. The chees prodigee grew in the great Katwe slums along with her coach Robert Katende.
The presence of Lupita in Uganda is a huge promotional endeavor as with the case when the Oscar winning film the last King of Scotland was shot in Uganda’s capital Kampala, Mbale and Entebbe. Lupita Nyong’o has got the desired qualities along with global recognition which at this moment is an indication that the recent concerns by US Embassy in Uganda that the country is not safe do not hold water.
Following scenes of the recent film of James Bond that was shot in Uganda, it is irrefutable that Uganda is gaining ranks in the corridors of Hollywood as a production country. And considering the success of the last King of Scotland, there is no doubt that Lupita’s role in Uganda will definitely give Uganda an International Platform that will culminate to increased safaris and tours to Uganda.
