Truck stuck in Kabale!
... to check out the road conditions and could not get up. There were very sad faces all around as it meant we had to stay in Kabale in a guest house. We upgraded to a room which was fairly average but we guess better than being in a tent. The ...
chaos!
... but good experience! This weekend, we were lucky enough to sneak away to the amazing Lake Bunyoni! It was about a 30 minute drive from Kabale, and then a one hour boat ride in a dug-out canoe. It is all worth it to arrive at an amazing island where they ...
Day 6 Lake Bunyoni and Pygmies

The Place of Small Birds
Another early start at 7.30 with a 2 hour game drive on the way out of the park. Jackson, our guide, is a very nice fellow and has been very helpful so far. On this drive, we saw many of the same animals as yesterday but we also saw some birds and a ...
The Switzerland of Uganda
... a beautiful lake set in the mountains, although maybe they should just be called” very high hills”, just west of Kabale. Lake called Lake Bunyonyi. The drive from Kampala to here very scenic although I didn't see much for the first two hours ...
Making our way back to Nairobi
... . The campsite at Jinja has a place where we can connect the laptop so we should be able to post some of the pictures then. Uganda is one of the prettiest places I have ever been. Everything here is so green and lush. One of the guides we had said ...
2nd Day at the Clinic
So today was our second day at the clinic! It is amazing there...it's hard to describe exactly what it is like. It's very small and not a lot of resources, but they do what they can to get by. A word I hear constantly here is ...

R&R at a beautiful lake
We took a 30 min taxi journey down a dusty muddy road (15,000/5 pounds) to the lake side and then got a dugout canoe to the island, which took about an hour to get to and my arms killed from the paddling. At first we were in a dorm since the rooms ...
De retour à la "civilisation"
Nous sommes donc passés par Kabale pour se rendre au quai principal du lac Bunyonyi. Une embarcation nous prend tous et nous amène au quai de l'île de notre prochain hébergement (Nature's Prime Island). Il s'y trouve un bâtiment principal (resto, ...
Lake Bunyonyi
Stopped for lunch in the 5th largest town in Uganda - two dirt streets with the odd herd of goats or cows wandering down them. What a lovely place it was though, particularly aided by a bakery that sold chocolate cake! It was only 9km but a very bumpy ...
