Kampala was a bustling city with a huge minibus park very close to where we were staying. We visited many travel agents in an attempt to get a cheap flight to London, but ended up with a not so cheap one flying in about a weeks time. We also booked our tour to go mountain gorilla tracking in Magahinga National Forest. $250 to track gorillas for an hour was the last splash of the trip and we couldn't pass up on the unique opportunity that many travelers before us had recommended highly.

Lucky enough to get laid off and took 6 months in Asia, then 3 in Africa. Planning to do it all again in September - but this time one year in Asia and then on to Central and South America.
