Our camp just above Murchisons falls, it was suppose to be a camp site but I doubt it has seen a camper for the last couple of years.This is what makes Uganda such a stunning destination for overlanders, you can camp nearly everywhere without listening to your next door neighbour farting and beating his wife as in some SA site.
In a small town called Masindi we stayed over before heading South to Fort Portal. The local hotel is a real treat, the look and feel is proper colonial style with waiters in black trousers and white shirts and white gloves galore. For around 4USD p/p we could use their lapa to sleep and the food in the restaurant was cheaper than we could do ourselfs.
The weird thing at this pace was the statues they had under the veranda. Why it was done like this and if the artist had a fettish for toursist only he would know.

Hello, enjoyed your story of your Uganda visit very much. I may have an explanation for the two statues in the colonial style hotel. The two statues looked like Colonials; a Bwana and a Madam (?) holding up a beam and could be a skid on the white man’s burden; there were ructions about such a party held by white people celebrating “The end of the white man’s burden’. I remember this when I was a student in Glasgow around 1964.
Aaarghhhh, I’m SO jealous! But thanks for posting the beautiful photos, guys. Safe travels!
Welcome back with your postings – almost thought you got lost somewhere! – Interesting to note the different take on experience between the two couples (Michnus and Elsabie and Harry and LInda). Are your friends Neil and Silvie associated with StreetKIDS? Thanks for sharing this with us. Travel safely
