West arrived Uganda’s Entebbe International Airport on Friday Oct. 12 with his wife Kim Kardashian West and their eldest daughter North, with the aim of getting inspiration to complete his album “Yandhi"

Kenye West and his family lodged at a Chobe Safari Lodge, a five-star luxury resort, in Murchison Falls National Park, which they rented.
The resort is located near the bank of the Nile River.

Interestingly, guests who were booked in by the management of the resort, were fully refunded, with an extra 200% refund bonus, in order to accommodate the Wests.

Kanye whose visit to Ugandan was meant to help him finish, and perfect, his long-awaited album, reportedly set up a dome to record his new album at the lodge for the duration of their stay until Friday, Oct. 19.

The Pop star hopes the sounds of Uganda will help him complete his much-anticipated ninth album Yandhi.

The album was scheduled to be released at the end of September but the rapper postponed it, saying the album, which was already good, needed an energy that he could only find in Africa.

The album, now due to be released on Nov. 23, is West’s attempt to better the albums that catapulted his career but also introduce this new persona Yé to fans.

Local media and the Ugandan Government hope West family’s trip to the East African country will boost tourism in the country's art industry, natural attractions and tourism sector.

West and his team set up a pop-up studio on the resort and are already working on the music, while Mystro, a Nigerian producer and performer who was on the Ugandan trip with West, posted a video of himself from inside the dome studio, with West listening his new track “Immediately, at the weekend.
