To mark a special event, when they agreed to spend the rest of their lives together, they spent quality time 309kms away from Kampala, at the Chimpundu lodge in Kibale, situated in Kibale forest national park, which offers experiences in a lush indigenous setting.
Their celebration came a few days ahead of George’s 30th birthday. His birthday falls on January 14. In her birthday regards, Sandra thanked God for the husband’s life and prayed for fulfilment of his desires.
The 296 square mile Kibale national park in western Uganda is a large moist evergreen rainforest containing a diverse array of landscapes.
The destination is popular for being home to 13 species of primates, including over 1,400 chimpanzees. For its high concentration of primate species, the park has come to be known as the world’s primate capital.
“Our journey started two years ago and since then, we have had 3 proposals, 3 traditionals and 2 weddings,” Sandra wrote on her Instagram.
“I want to thank God for blessing us and guiding us. Secondly, thank you for making me smile everyday, and showing me true love. You mean the world to me.”
Similarly, George said every moment the two has been classic.
“Thank you for making me happy and being so easy to love,” George wrote.
