[…] The gate guard lifted the boom for us and we rolled into no mans land, between countries, to park again and have our covid vaccination cards checked. No request for a PCR test so far. […]

In reply to Katrin Lubars.

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it. Southwest Uganda is the Uganda that was in my imagination, steeply terraced hillsides and misty mountains and all that. The rest of the country is beautiful too, but that area in particular.

I’m sure you’re Namibia/Botswana/Zimbabwe trip will be great! I recall that your husband isn’t fond of roof top tents, maybe get one of the easy up/down clamshell ones? They are becoming more common on the rentals.

Thank you very much for writing up your gorilla experience so clearly. I felt I was right with you hiking through the rain forest. The pictures you managed to shoot are wonderful, especially the portraits and the babies. Hopefully, one of these days I get to go as well.
The scenery with the terraced hills as well as looking out over the Lake is absolutely stunning, even mystical with all the fog. I would love to see that.
The cottage is laid out similarly to the one we once had at Dolomite camp in Etosha, luxurious for sure! but after all that rain you deserved it!
Thank you for letting me come along and showing us beautiful picture.
Safe travels,
Katrin ( who is on cloud 7 since her husband has agreed to do a fourth Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe tour next year, in a roof tent!)
