Uganda Revisited......

Uganda – Revisited!

November 2009 saw my second trip to Uganda – and again we took some friends with us to show the country off.

The only direct flight service from UK to Entebbe is still with British Airways; however there are other options such as Emirates and Kenya Airways that are not direct.

Again we did a lot of travelling about the country and revisited Queen Elizabeth National Park for a 3 day safari. We met up with some other people our age staying at the Mweya safari lodge and we all had a great time...topped off by a visit from a hippo on our last night ! We were all kept very safe as there were guards around us – but having such a large and dangerous animal so close to you is simply breathtaking.

Jinja was a place that I had been to before – however we had only had a day trip before so this time we decided to have an overnight stay to explore the area more.

We stayed right at the source of the Nile at the Nile Porch with breathtaking views from the pool area of the Nile itself. If you watch the TV Programme ‘Joanna Lumley’s Nile’ when she is in Uganda she films from here – the TV crew checked in as we were checking out.

Uganda is a wonderful country and I would love to help anyone arrange their travels there.
