Umar- the world's politest waiter

We couldn't write about our visit to Nyungwe Forest Lodge without mentioning Umar, who was our waiter at most meals.  With his beaming smile, quiet voice and impeccable manners he is quite simply the World's Politest Waiter.

We felt so guilty when he had to admonish us for pouring our white wine into the red wine glasses on the table, when he had gone to get the specially chilled glasses from the freezer.  Oh the shame.

We cannot say enough nice things about Umar, and hope he has along and successful career.
