Early Starts
Today we had a really early start form Jinja this morning. 4am. We were told to keep the lights off in the truck for security reasons but to be honest I think it was more to save the trucks battery then for the remote possibility that we might be ...

Afslapning efter lang transport
VI kom til Lake Buynionuy efter en lang men god transport dag. Vi startede om aftenen hvor vi tog en faerge fra Mwanza til Bukoba, som kun ligger en time fra graensen. Faergen var rigtig fin og er endda tegnet af nogle danskere i 1958. Saa der var en ...
The Impenetrable Forest
I'm not sure why but these journeys are never easy. I left on Saturday morning from Kampala to go to Bwindi Impentrable National Park. Everything was easy sailing for about 3 hours when we went over a speed bump and our car got a flat ...
Level Headed
... from my seat at the front of the bus so at least I managed some rather placid game viewing during my time in Uganda. The bus took us through some spectacular scenery though sitting at the front it was hard to avoid watching the speedometer breach 150km/h ...
Rain Delay
Island pub crawl cancelled. No sooner had I picked out my vessel, the heavens opened complete with all the thunder and lightning you could wish for. Vast lake, man on a canoe right in the middle with a big long paddle. It sounds a bit dangerous for ...

Place of many little birds
... the post bus (A bus that delivers the mail and people!), we managed to deal with having our booking for the guesthouse in Kabale magically unwritten in he managers book. They were nice enough to point us to another guesthouse down the street, and we got ...

Beautiful Scenery and Better Food
... guy behind me, a guy playing loud music at 3am in front of me, and some cockroaches on me…but I made it to Kabale. I very tiredly try to gather myself at 6am to figure out how to get to Lake Bunyonyi. Of course about eight motorbike drivers are ...
Leaving Kisoro
... her the name of the place on Bunyonyi that I was going to be staying at should she and her brother wish to come back through Uganda with me rather than Darja. She too then departed on what looked like the most stressed-out group ever to go on a trip ...
Messing about on the River (Lake)
... , about 300km north and try and see some delicious animals. This is easier said than done as, with most national parks in Uganda, it seemed absolutely impossible to get to. After reading enough descriptions and studying endless maps (which I tend to just ...
Lake Mburo National Park
Sunday we left the prettyness of Lake Bunyonyi behind, and drove to Lake Mburo National Park, where we camped for the night. We did evening and morning game drives although they weren’t nearly as action packed as our recent trips. We ...

starting to relax
... to have some hot drinks in a cool little café/art and craft gallery, where all the profits went to an AIDS organisation. We got to Kabale mid-late afternoon to stock up on food etc, and as I was on cooking that day I went to help Su get the fresh ...
Gorillas!!
... before (sitting in a jeep/truck for the last 4 weeks doesn’t seem like the ideal training!): “Visitors to Uganda should be in excellent physical condition, without any heart problems and prepared to spend strenuous days in humid rain forests, ...
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
One of the highlights of this trip, I have to say. Took a day to get here on various forms of local transport. Then the four of us, a Danish guy, myself and a Kiwi couple took off on one of the toughest hikes I have ever been on. We climbed and climbed, ...
Lake Bunyonyi
Our staging area for the gorilla adventure was a beautiful lake in Southwest Uganda called Lake Bunyonyi. The setting itself is stunning. The mountains rise into sharp points and then plummet straight down towards the surface of the lake. ...

First catch up with K on the road!
We awoke early once again after a bad night sleep due to loud music coming from a bar up the road and loads of light streaming into the tent. We had a quick breakfast before climbing on the truck for a very long day from Kampala to Lake Bunyonyi. It was ...
R&R&R (rest and relaxation and rain)

Impressions and a little lie down
(This is part 3 of an email carved-up into 3 parts) Finally heading for Kabale, it becomes clear that Uganda is a country where they have to work to stop things growing. The verges and fields are comic book green laced with corn and watermelons ...
He shoots.... he scores!!!
... us anyway! After giving them nothing but our best wishes, we headed to our campsite for the night. A place called Gorilla backpackers in Kabale. When we got their, Aaron headed out with a few others to start a game of football with the local kids. They ...

Lake Bunyoni
Got up at a fairly reasonable hour to be picked up for our group trip to lake Bunyoni. The minibus took us down to the lake where we split in to two groups - each group got into a long motor boat to be taken out on to the lake. The boat took us to a ...
