The Igara Kingdom visit by my late granny

Let me tell USA story told by my late Granny 45 years ago.


He started 🤝 My visit to King Kamurara IIof the Igara Kingdom in Uganda proved to be both enlightening and deeply enriching. Beyond the formalities of the royal audience, I was afforded a rare glimpse into the intricate tapestry of the people’s customs and traditions.

Their cultural expressions which is rooted in history yet alive in contemporary practice, reflects a society that places immense value on identity, continuity, and communal harmony. Every interaction revealed a deliberate preservation of heritage, from their modes of greeting to the subtle symbolism embedded in their daily lives.

What left the most profound impression on me, however, was the people’s exceptional sense of hospitality. There exists within the community a genuine warmth that transcends mere politeness, embodying instead a deeply ingrained cultural ethic of welcoming visitors.

Strangers are not merely received; they are embraced, engaged, and made to feel like an extension of the community itself. This openness fosters not only comfort but also meaningful cultural exchange, allowing one to experience their way of life not as an observer, but as a participant.
No account of my visit would be complete without highlighting the remarkable quality of their cuisine.

The meals I encountered were not only rich in flavor but also reflective of the land’s abundance and the people’s culinary heritage. Each dish told its own story; carefully prepared, generously served, and shared in the true spirit of togetherness.
In many ways, the food served as a fitting culmination of the entire experience: authentic, inviting, and deeply satisfying, much like the people and traditions of the Igara Kingdom itself.




That's the end of the ancient visit.
Ever since then, I wrote it down on three different books, I planned on making an electronic copy of it.
