Uganda joined delegates from Kenya, South Sudan, and US partners in New York for the Roosevelt Africa Trail Summit, which aims to create a heritage tourism route following Theodore Roosevelt's 1909-1910 expedition through East Africa.
The summit announced a major partnership with Kahawa 1893 to create Roosevelt Africa Safari Coffee — potentially Uganda's largest coffee deal in history.
Tendo Naggenda, former Vice President of both Disney and Netflix, presented "Roosevelt Encounters Africa," a documentary capturing Roosevelt's journey and its impact on modern conservation and cultural diplomacy. He emphasized that the initiative's success depends on compelling storytelling to drive engagement, commerce, and cross-continental cultural impact.
A delegation from MIT also presented immersive XR and AI tools, including the "Roosevelt Africa Virtual Trail," set to launch during America's 250th independence celebrations next year.
