We had a slow morning and only left at 11:00 again. We retraced our route on the horrible ‘tar’ road back to the turn-off to Ishasha in the South. From the turn-off, it is a decent gravel road with only some corrugation towards the end. It’s a public road, but we still got to see [...]
We got up passed 08:00 to find that the overlanders have already left. We took our time to have breakfast and to pack up. D&S even went for a walk in the forest again and showered. At 11:00 we set off towards QENP on a proper tar road, with just some potholes here and there. [...]
We got up lazily and while the other’s went to make breakfast Hugo continued to sleep in our hammock between the trees. We had scrambled eggs with our last cheese and bacon for breakfast. We haven’t decided where to go next, but we wanted to go down through Queen Elizabeth National Park to Bwindi and [...]
We got up at 08:00 after the strange night a packed almost everything out of the vehicle and removed the things from the roof rack for the service. Hugo took the vehicle to Stitch and Sew at 09:00 and they could help him immediately. We still had an air-filter and fuel filter from South Africa, [...]
The receptionist at ViaVia told us the free ferry on the road from Entebbe to Kasanje leaves at 08:30 in the morning. We thus set an alarm for 06:30 in order to leave by 07:30. We actually managed to get up in time and pack up quickly, but only left the campsite at 07:50. We [...]
The Two Monkeys felt something odd in the morning, but couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Hugo got out and noticed what was wrong. Our first flat wheel in 5 monhts and 15 000km. We inflated the wheel a bit to fit the bottle jack and then put on the spare tyre. We could hear [...]
We slept late and packed up very slowly. The Dutch couple went on a 2 hour nature walk in the morning and returned before we left. At 11:00 we drove off towards Kampala, preparing for the worst as people keep warning us that we will now finally reach actual traffic chaos. The traffic flowed easily [...]
Even though we only had 60km to go today we wanted to get an early start so that we can still hike in the Mabira forest. We thus set our alarms for 07:00, but only managed to get up much later. Last night another vehicle arrived and the number plate looked like a Burundi plate, [...]
We slept passed 08:00 as we watched series until almost 02:00, but then it started to rain quite hard so we hid in the tent for another hour or more. When it finally calmed down we went for a shower and then to the bar where D&S were already sitting with their laptops doing research [...]
We set an alarm for 07:00, but we were all a bit slow to Caro’s frustration and Daniel still tried to get some fishing in. We only managed to leave by 09:25. We took the B1 straight to Busia, which is tarmac all the way, but it still took more than 2 hours to cover [...]
