Entebbe

We had an uneventful if long (29 hours door-to-door) trip to Entebbe.  Views from the plane were quite spectacular, but seeing the varied textures of the Sahara was truly amazing. Today was a rest and get ready day, practicing our binocular and camera skills on the various birds around the hotel grounds. On a trip to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens we saw many birds (including 3 kinds of hornbills) plus colobus and vervet monkeys.  Tomorrow we head west to start looking for chimpanzees.
