A recent public holiday allowed the crew to pack up the camping kits& spend a long weekend at the remote Semliki reserve, in the Western Rift Valley. Situated on the shores of Lake Albert (opposite the Congo)& at the base of the Rwenzori mountains, it's a beautiful mosaic of habitats - grassland, savanna, forest& wetlands, a haven for the ornithologist& a revealing snapshot into the daily rural lives of Ugandans.We whiled away the time wandering through the local villages, haggling with fishermen for fresh tilapia, spotting Ugandan Cob& the occasional elephant, cooking over the campfire& waking up to honey coloured dawns.
