It's been 9 months since Renate and Ian arrived in Uganda - a holiday was due and their good friends David and Gina from Sheffield came out to visit Uganda during the last two weeks of November. A journey taking in Kibale Forest and the Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda was undertaken! Here are some images from the holiday.The first full day in Uganda was spent relaxing in Entebbe by Lake Victoria and the Botanical Gardens are home to a clutch of Vervet Monkeys - who like to be fedThis baby was just two days oldFrom the sublime quiet of the Botanical Gardens to the manic rush of Kampala's taxi park - needs to be seen to be believed!The view from the cottage where Ian and Renate stayed in Kibale Forest - the evening sun is catching the density of the forest treesHere, Gina, Renate and David are with Julius the guide from the community project that manages the Bigodi Swamp near Kibale Forest - this wooden walkway is 300 metres long and was constructed by volunteers from the nearby village. 50% of tourist fees are used to pay for community development projects in the village.Chimps grooming each other in Kibale ForestThe tree house in Bigodi Swamp provides a great place to view the Forest canopyAlso a good place to relax and have a laugh!Mother and baby black and white Colobus monkeys at BigodiHere's a croc with his gob open at the Kazinga Channel which runs between Lake Edward and Lake George in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda. The croc's gob stayed open for all the time we were watching - at least five minutes!
