The Uganda Safari drivers Association (USADA) was formed by 40 drivers during a three-week course at Mweya Safari Lodge in the Queen Elizabeth nati-onal Park in Kasese recently.
“The association aims at professionalising the driving sector in the tourism industry,†the chairman, Hebert Byaruhanga, said.
