Kanye and Kim holiday in Uganda

They are reportedly vacationin­g in a luxury safari lodge with a view of the River Nile

-

Ugandan officials say Kanye West and his wife, the reality TV star Kim Kardashian West, have arrived in Uganda on a private visit.

Informatio­n Minister Frank Tumwebaze said late on Saturday that West’s visit is “an endorsemen­t of our tourism resources.” Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said on Twitter that the American rapper was travelling with his wife.

They are reportedly vacationin­g in a luxury safari lodge with a view of the River Nile in the northern part of the East African nation.

Their presence in Uganda is seen as a coup for official tourism promoters, who recently were criticised by the president for allegedly not doing enough to promote Uganda’s natural attraction­s.
