Today we flew from Entebbe to Kasese, a town on the shores of Lake George (no, not that Lake George!) in a 10-seater plane. We landed on a grass runway, which one of our group called the Wimbledon of runways, then drove 2 hours north through the Western Rift Valley into the Kibale Forest. At the end of many rutted red clay roads we found ourselves at a beautiful lodge with cabins overlooking the mountains and a lake. This whole region is full of “blast crater lakes” formed when old calderas drop below the water table. We hiked around our lake this afternoon, discovering more birds and butterflies and learning about local pineapple farming methods. We had a bit of rain during our hike but that did not deter us. The lodge has three dogs named Basil, Sybil, and Polly, from Faulty Towers. Only one photo today as the internet in this part of paradise is a bit limited!
