We traveled to the south, with a maintained between stop in Masaka town, where I once again 'my' dentist visited. Unfortunately, she did not really help and I was back in Belgium again. Luckily I did not suffer as much as the other tooth.
In Masaka we have a driver and car settled, giving us the next 10 days, driving around.
First to Kisoro, Mgahinga National Park. There we would do if we could still do our gorilla safaris since the permits still were available. They were there if we could wait 2 days.
That we could, now we took a walk in that NP. To get to the park you'll drive over a giga-bad road (and that's saying a lot in Uganda) through some villages are very poor appearance. Here live people who are put out of the woods when she made a protected park. To compensate for this they receive a portion of the money from the park entrance fees received from the tourists. This is then invested in schools and hospitals. Schools and hospitals that I have not seen up close, but everything looked very armtierig out, and people were not happy to see us (according to my impression). They laughed and waved to the Muzungu's not like in the rest of the country.
The walk was fun and nice, and the guide told us about the other things you can do in the park, such as gorilla and golden monkey trekking. The monkeys are made familiar with this people, so they are easier to find.Golden Monkey treks can also be done in Rwanda parks , you may include it in a itinerary.
When we were out of the park (again after a drive through the villages of expelled people) we both had an uneasy feeling because of the gorilla trekking. We decided not to do. Let the animals in peace. I do not want them to people who are used to make me a cool experience to give. Protect them, but leave them alone.
For those who do trekking: enjoy it!
The weather was very bad in Kisoro, and not bother to another 2 days to hang. Called to our next place (which I had already booked for the year-end) to ask if we could come a little earlier. This was possible, and thanks to the convenience of a private driver the same day we departed from Kisoro to Lake Bunyonyi to go to an island on which to relax.
Delightful place, a small island with a few safari tents and some cottages in the middle of the lake. The weather was something better. First day idled nice and healthy, gigantic burned (actually very smart for you to smear all except 1 where it's needed most was good), these days more of that, just do not sunbathe because not much sun more.
Walked around the island an hour's time, many birds examined (one was literally sunbathing, see pictures, hilarious!) And New Year's Eve at 10am sleep.
Delicious!
Queen Elizabeth National Park was the next stop. Because only overpriced accommodation available near the park, we drove a lot to the Rwenzori Mountains to do something cheaper overnight.
Next morning at 4:30 to get back up to drive to the park for a game drive to do, and hopefully to see lions! Unfortunally, who had that day not want any to show, so I hope I still go see them in Tanzania.
It was wonderful to see the sunrise, and all these animals in Peis and quiet on the savannah to see frolicking.
Back to the Rwenzori's there the next day to a one-day trek to do. 3h and 3h back according to the guide.
After 4 hours we were still not on the lunch spot arrived (where the road descends again would start) and I against the guide said that my condition was not suitable to go further (also bearing in mind that we are back to were also down). Isabelle Yes, I had thought that it was fortunate that you had in der ni! But it was clear that I in my life, not a lot of sports and exercise have done ...
Nevertheless, it was a very nice walk, definitely worth repeating.
Most people who come there to go for a 6 - or 9-day trek into the mountains.
Chapeau.
After the Rwenzori's back along Masaka, Reggie to the school to show where I've given 2 weeks lesson. We also visited the piggery of our driver. Cute! And say there is lots of small chops roam ...
The manure of the pigs was used to fertilize his land. Quite a nice system, and the stench was even too bad. It was a natural scent.
That was the smell of sweat from our guide in the Rwenzori's also, but if I had some more problems ...
And then we were back in Besaniya and Reggie had to leave again. Eventually a very abrupt goodbye because I do not participate in the airpot allowed inside, ni cool, but yes.
Reggie has now arrived in Beirut in one piece, without luggage, where all our memories in it ... hopefully that baggage still on!
