Hi there I’m Saffron and I shall be heading out to Uganda in a few days with Lucy and Brian to film the planning trip. As Producer / Director I have worked on a variety of entertainment programmes for BBC and Channel 4. Recently I was a P/D on “The Gap Year” for Bebo, an interactive online travel adventure following 6 travellers all round the world on the highs and lows of a 6 month Gap Year.

Africa and I have a bit of a history, like Brian the continent never let go with me either. I first landed there back in ‘98 when I went on an overland trip through Uganda and Kenya in my university summer holiday. Since then I have been back several times and on Gap Year I travelled for 6 months filming through various parts of South, East, North and West Africa.  I am really chuffed to be using my skills to help this amazing project get off the ground.

In our three weeks in Uganda we really want to feel like you are there with us through the entire trip right from the moment we arrive in Uganda. This is going to be an important trip and we want YOU to be involved.

Watch our daily videos, be it in on Facebook, Bebo, YouTube or the main CiF website. Follow our twitter updates, comment on our blog and videos and check out our pictures. We will be also asking for your help and your feedback on how we are doing so far with your ideas and questions, don’t be shy get involved! The beauty is you can do it all from the comfort of your home, office, on your laptop, blackberry or iphone in any WIFI zone you choose, just switch on and get online.

So for now it’s on to finalising our shooting schedule, checking through the kit, praying the internet in Uganda is up to it and packing the well travelled rucksack once more!

7 days to go!
