Day 10 - Monday 30th June "MZUNGU IN THE MIST" Hardly slept last night as we were so excited for today. Up at 5am to have breakfast and organise a packed lunch. Thankfully managed to get my hands on more rice cakes - see ya later stale sugar bread sandwiches. Our local guide here in Ruhengeri - Issa, had visited last night to explain the Gorilla trek process and answer any impending questions. We are offered 3 levels of Trekking, with approximations of duratio...

Day 9 - Sunday 29th June A fairly early wake up this morning, as we had to organise breakfast and a packed lunch for the day ahead. After a week and half, 3 full meals a day is just becoming a bit much, so I stick to corn flakes and wrap up some rice cakes and a banana for lunch (I just cannot face another sandwich). An hour outside of Kabale, and we reach the border post. We complete our paperwork and stamp out of Uganda, walk 800 meters and stamp ourselves i...

Day 7 - Friday 27th June I woke up at 530am this morning, as I wanted to take advantage of another hot shower. 730am hits and we sadly say goodbye to beautiful Kibale, to begin our 5hr journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Firstly, my 1st camera battery died, followed by my back up battery, then the Go Pro batt...

Day 5 - Wednesday 25th June So far our driving days have been long, and today is no exception. We rose to a 4am alarm, and a 5am departure. As I mentioned yesterday, we stayed at this cute lodge called Red Chilli, on the outskirts of Kampala - Uganda's capital city. We stayed in dorms last night so we didn't have to put the tents down so early this morning which was nice, but I hardly got any sleep, as it was too hot, and I had convinced myself I was getting be...

Day 2 - Sunday 22nd June After an early morning 3am wake up call by our next door neighbours phlegm hocking, we got ourselves organised, bags re-packed, and said goodbye to our luxurious single beds, as today our adventure 'actually' begins. We head down to the Truck we will call home for the next month and are surprised to find that our lockers are a little on the small side. Luckily we were fairly organised (bags within bags), so rearranged yet again, and man...
