Ngamba Island, Day 2: Walking with Chimpanzees
Before I put type up my journal entry, I would like to make something very clear - what I talk about in this entry is NOT normal, and could only be done under very special circumstances. Chimpanzees do NOT make good pets, and can be extremely dangerous ...

UWEC - Day 2
Yesterday, didn't perform surgery on the fish eagle - microsurgery instruments were needed, which weren't available, and prognosis was very poor anyway, so we had to euthanase it. I also realized that it was a partially prolapsed ileum, not caecum(I was ...
Ngamba Island, Day 3: Routines Develop

Ngamba Island, Day 3: Part 2
7:15 PM Here I am, back again! Right now I wish I had a wash cloth, I'm filthy! I'll have a shower in the morning, but in the meantime. I hate to use one of their nice hand towels for my dirty feet, but if that's what I need to do, so be it! I wish I ...
Nya
Quick entry here...been very confused for the last few days as to exactly where I'm going next, and kinda still am. Feel like shit because I've been jerking my travelling partner around(she's on my favorite traveler's link)...I wonder when she's going to ...
Planet of the apes... no, Island of the chimps
... see. We sat int he back of the van until enough passengers filled it, paid the $1.50 and were off on a bumpy 1 1/2 drive down to Entebbe. Once there we headed over to the lake's edge and waited for the boat to take us to the island. The 45 minute boat ...
COBRAS FIGHTING TO THE DEATH!
Today was another exciting day - got to work, and then we found out there were 2 snakes to treat - so went along - both pythons - I jumped in and got to draw blood and inject from them - drawing blood from them is bloody hard, by the way... Lunch today, ...
Ngamba Island, Day 6: Final Night
It's our last night in Ngamba. It's hard to believe a whole week has passed! Tomorrow the flavor of our trip will change completely as we make our way to Arusha. Today we slept in, which was very nice. I got in a ...
Wildlife Rehab, gonna observe surgery on an eagle!
Day after the last entry, went into town to do some things, and had the great luck of being caught in the middle of crap again - more tear gas, running around, burning, looting - got out of there ASAP and spend the evening in my guesthouse...whee... ...
Ngamba Island, Day 1
So this morning we woke up late, around nine, then went downstairs for breakfast. Mom and I then went to pay our bills, which took a lot of effort, but we managed! Then we checked out and were picked up by Isaac ...

You're walking...
Relatively uneventful day today - had to continue with the dung-tossing, which I'm becoming quite good at, if I may say so myself... Did have a donkey that had arthritis in the left fore in the carpal region...went with the vet to look, and there were 5 ...

Fun with Salespeople
Amiya and I had to go back down to Kampala yesterday to get our TB tests read and sort out other stuff, as well as have good food. My TB test came back positive(possibly) - it was only the skin test, which can give a positive result with a strong immune ...
Possibly Last day in Uganda...
I am completely lost right now as to what I am doing - as a few of you know, I was toying around with going to London for 2 days before West Africa - unfortunately, visa-getting was a bitch...and I decided not to. Then last night was toying around with ...
Visit to Kampala

End of the tour
It is the last day of the tour. Time to say 'farewell' to Georgina. She has been a fantastic travelling companion. We enjoyed our experiences in much the same way. The 1st half of the day was spent walking around Jinja where I did a bit of ...
Pool side with the Muzungus
... close to the end of our time here, I think we would have been good friends. We found the Imperial Beach Resort in Entebbe without much trouble. Sadly it is not much of a beach (very dirty), filled with broken chairs and chaises covered in ...
