Uganda
Hello all,
We have just got back to Nairobi from our 2 week tour to see the Gorillas in Uganda.
We trekked for 3 hours though the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, in search of gorilla signs. After the tracker said that it wasn't looking good, he stumbled upon some Gorilla poo on a forest elephant track and we were off on the chase.
When we got back to the camp the other group had tracked a group of 16, with 2 silverbacks and 2 babies! Apparently the babies where climbing all over the silver backs and when the female disciplined one baby the silverback disciplined her!
We found a group of 5 sleeping, including one silverback (big daddy). We sat there for an hour watching sleeping gorillas occasionally fart.
That was cool though, because we got to see an endangered species in the wild, and its really not likely that they will be around for our children to see (figuratively speaking).
Anyway we are back in Nairobi, getting ready to head off to the Masai Mara. Last night we went to the world famous Carnivores restaurant and ate fabulous meat until we were bursting. We had Crocodile, which I thought tasted like fishy chicken - not so much my cup of tea.
Ok, until the next internet cafe (that doesn't take 3 hours to open an email) thats us.
Love Jeremy and Sarah
