Her business offers more than wildlife safaris — it delivers community-driven, cultural experiences by skilled female tour guides. 🐘The Academy For Women Entrepreneurs Uganda (AWE) was Violet's turning point. It gave her the confidence to identify her unique entrepreneurial strengths, improve her company's compliance, and build a stronger business identity. 🦜Services offered: Safaris, Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking, Adventure Tourism, Community and Cultural Experiences, and Birding (fully facilitated by female tourist guides). 📢 Tag a friend who needs to see this, or drop a comment to celebrate the amazing work being done by women in tourism! 🦍𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.
