Re: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda)

I think if it wasn't for Africa's bad roads the continent would look like the Serengeti during migration time, end to end tongue

yeah so stretch the trip, and take looooots of scenic shots so we can armchair travel here wink

Re: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda)

yip, a big campaign on at the moment to try and halt this ... highway through one of the world's natural wonders i.e. cutting straight through the migration.

oh wow! that's a really cool prize - congrats, I think it certainly means you'll be travelling; with your garmin at least tongue
