The Envoys Who Saw the World: The Story I Didn’t Say

Send us Fan Mail

This is the story I didn’t say.

In the main episode, I focused on what the envoys meant to Buganda.
 Here, I slow things down and follow their journey step by step from the Nile, through Sudan, into Egypt, and eventually to England.

This is a closer look at the places they passed through, the people they encountered, and the world they were trying to make sense of.

If you want to go deeper, I’ve put together a full written version on Substack, along with a Google Earth flyover map so you can actually trace the route for yourself.
