Ever wondered what happens when a foreigner falls head over heels for Uganda?
Meet Muzungu Boda, the white boda boda rider who’s taken Uganda’s social media by storm.
With his unscripted, authentic videos, he’s not just creating content—he’s capturing the heart and soul of a nation.
Who Is Muzungu Boda?
Muzungu Boda is more than just a viral sensation. He’s a content creator, videographer, and storyteller who’s mastered the art of showcasing Uganda in a way that’s both entertaining and deeply relatable.
His journey began with a dream—literally. After dreaming about his cousin, who had lived in Uganda for a decade, he decided to pack his bags and move to the Pearl of Africa.
What started as a spontaneous adventure quickly turned into a love affair with Uganda.
Despite a knee injury that initially made him wary of boda bodas, he embraced the thrill of riding through Kampala’s chaotic streets. And then, one day, everything changed.
The Viral Moment That Changed Everything
In December 2023, Muzungu Boda borrowed a friend’s boda boda and hit the streets. A young lady mistook him for a rider and asked for a ride.
He filmed the encounter (with her permission), and the video exploded online. Overnight, he became Muzungu Boda—the white boda boda rider.
The video sparked curiosity, with some speculating he was an undercover agent or part of a special forces unit. But Muzungu Boda is quick to dismiss these claims. “I’m just a guy who loves Uganda,” he says.
Authenticity at Its Core
What sets Muzungu Boda apart is his authenticity. His videos are 99% unscripted, capturing the raw, unfiltered essence of Ugandan life.
From drifting stunts to boda boda rides, his content is a celebration of Uganda’s culture, energy, and people.
And here’s the kicker: he shoots and edits everything on his phone. With the help of his best friend, Chaka, and his cousin-manager, Koach, he’s built a brand that’s as real as it gets.
A Mission to Inspire
Muzungu Boda’s love for Uganda goes beyond viral videos. While riding through his neighborhood, he was approached by children asking for a football.
That simple request turned into something much bigger. Today, he runs a football club for local kids, providing everything from jerseys and coaches to school fees and food.
His goal? To give these children a chance to excel—not just in football, but in life. He dreams of seeing them compete in national and international leagues while pursuing their education and careers.
What’s Next for Muzungu Boda?
The future looks bright for this viral creator. He’s exploring brand collaborations, improving his Luganda, and working on projects that align with his values.
Fans can also look forward to his upcoming book and more creative content on TikTok and Instagram.
But his ultimate dream? To ride Uganda’s President, Yoweri Museveni, on his boda boda and seek mentorship from him.
Muzungu Boda isn’t just creating content—he’s building a legacy. Through his videos, charity work, and infectious love for Uganda, he’s inspiring others to see the beauty in everyday life. As one fan put it, “I sold my DSTV subscription just to watch Muzungu Boda’s videos.”
So, whether he’s drifting cars, riding boda bodas, or playing football with local kids, one thing is clear: Muzungu Boda is here to stay. And Uganda is all the better for it.
