The road to Ugandan gorillas


Time to head out!

The first stop is to see the gorillas in Uganda. It turns out that the three of us are the only ones heading to the gorillas, so rather than take the giant truck we get to take a land rover.  There will be no extra cost and Henry, our guide, said we will be able to move faster and see more.  I definitely feel like an overprivledged white girl riding around in a personal vehicle.

My first impressions of Kenya: The people are very nice to you.  They are also very well dressed. All the men are wearing collared shirts and the women are wearing beautiful dresses. Even while they are walking down the dusty roads.

We saw rift valley. What an expanse!

We also crossed the equator.

And had our first wild-life siting. Zebras! Just hanging out along the side of the road.

The camp site we stayed in was really nice. It had a bar which looked like a safari themed ski lodge.  The beer of choice is Tusker, which has an elephant on the label. Awesome.
