Stuck in the mud
After a scorching afternoon yesterday, it started to rain in the middle of the night, and it hasn't stopped yet. The shower cubicles were open to the sky, which sounds idyllic, but they were cold, and I shared my shower with a variety of bugs, and at one ...

We are about to see the gorillas

Gorillas in the mist, Mzungos in the mud
Three nights here. We are camping next to the lake, it looks amazing, like an African Lake district. Uganda in general is so green it's not exactly how you'd imagine a dry Africa. Some part could be mistaken for the UK, albeit with a few banana trees and ...

Hot showers, sticks, boxed wine and gluttony
