Uganda

28 January 2016. I am going to be in south-west Uganda all of February. Winston Churchill once described Uganda as the Pearl of Africa but most of us have a mental picture of it as it was under Idi Amin; a burned-out shell of a country. Well it’s not that any more. It’s stable, friendly and very rich in wildlife. I will be living close to the Bwindi Impenetrable Reserve, a mountainous area where the Mountain Gorillas (of Dian Fossey’s Gorillas in the Mist fame) live. Quite why I’m there is a longish story, but if you want to know more see this website.

I expect to see lots of birds, subject to WiFi limitations I’ll post as often as I can.
