Another long and rough drive down from Murchison Falls to Kampala. Keen to get there in just a day because we need Sunday free to pull everything out of Hektor and put it into storage for a week. Why? Because on Monday Daniel and Sophie are coming over to join us for a week and we're planning a big circuit around Uganda to see the sights.
We're both really looking forward to having them over and I've missed both Daniel and Oliver a lot over Christmas. I wish Oliver could be here too but I know he's busy with exams and can't make it this time. As it is we have to wait a little longer to see Daniel and Sophie. The Egypt Air flight from London arrives late in Cairo and they miss the connection to Kampala. After a long wait at the airport they are routed by Addis Abba to Kampala. On arrival Sophie's bag has gone missing. Not a great start for them both, but at least they arrive in time for us to take a little sunset cruise on Lake Victoria. And it is absolutely amazing to have them both with us. It's only for a few days though so we're going to make the most of it.
The next morning we're up early for the drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where we plan to go gorilla tracking the next day. We camp in the mountains - Annemarie and I in the roof tent, Dan and Sophie in a second tent we've packed for the journey but so far haven't used. Their lucky this is our first campground without troublesome animals wandering about!
