Nkuringo Gorilla Camp Hi Moo,
It was great to find your blog on your visit to Nkuringo in July 2006. I too found the place leaving a big hole in my heart when it was time to leave during a visit in early 2008. You would not recognise the camp today in Jan 2010 from your own visit. I simply had to return to Nkuringo to involve myself with the community as there was so much untapped potential.
Nkuringo Walking Safaris was created to providing guiding opportunities where the walks have become one of the must do activities for visitors to not only Bwindi Impenetrable Forest but also Uganda since it's inception. The Nkuringo Yourth Initiative Programme was established where many of the older youth are involved in some way with the walking safari initiative. All the youth are involved in cultural dance performances for visitors, the women are producing wonderful basketry and the kids some great drawings.
The camp has seen massive infrastructure improvements with wonderful eco-toilets and showers built, your own accommodation has been completely renovated and we have now some beautiful cottages on a much larger site that take advantage of the incredible scenery.
When I look at your images it is incredible to reflect back on how far we have come in 18 short months of real hard work. This would not have been possible without the huge efforts of the community and a vision of what the future could be.
Both the walking safaris and camp are providing valuable employment opportunities within this very rural community. It was only the initiative and a willingness required as the main ingredients to set the wheels in motion. I am sure if you were to return you would find it even harder to drag yourself away.
I wanna go back!!! My god, Africa was amazing! It's great to re-live the experience in photos, but I wanna do it again for real. Hopefully my long distance wildlife spotting eyes last longer than my failing close up reading eyes :-) But, who would have thought it could get so bloody cold in Africa, the Crater was absolutely freezing!!!
top stuff beautiful story moo. can really feel the love you have for those ppl and the place... must have been the most beautiful experience. aaaaahhh.. xx
Woo hoo! we're in Africa again!! Yippee, it's so cool to relive the Africa experience through your blog...it brings so much back! I wanna go back!!!! In the meantime...give me more :-) You've obviously been doing some homework on the wildlife...wish we'd known more while we were there...would have been nice to know the Secretary Bird was a snake eater?!?! And no I wasn't sleeping in that photo...I was changing batteries in the bloody camera...the first omen of the camera woes to come....
Hindi, Indian language... Hey Amanda, your blog is a great read! I liked the way you described the Taj. Spellbinding isnt it? And oh...by the way, Hindi is the official language of India, not Indian. (25 other recognised languages, 1 too many!)
Next time, try head south to Kerala/Konkan coast....theres a lot to see AND its a lot cleaner (but just as crowded!). The people are a bit more laid back too.
how come? Hey honey,
how come you've travelled for soo long?? How can you do it? with what money, with what strenght?? write to me! xx

Wow Can also see why you loved Turkey so much; very very beautiful. The kayaking must have been brilliant. Am still in awe that you did all of this on your own. Cannot wait for next blog, hurry up!! (: xox
Can see why you loved Turkey so much It really is pretty stunning. Love the chimneys...for those of us without a perverted mind they also look like giant candles. Ok, next.....
How are you? Just read your latest blog how are you? We are OK. Wesley is going away to stay in a beautiful respite place in Canberra for 16 days. He went last year and loved it and got thoroughly spoilt so we are off to see Lloyd and Emma in Canada. Wesley doesnt know as he would be devastated to know we are seeing them without him. Its hard to lie but it is kinder. Cant wait to see them as miss them so much. Emma, being Emma has out whole tourist itinerary planned, ha! ha! We had Val and Steve out from UK things didnt go well so seeing as you havent contacted them re seeing them in Surrey please dont bother. Will tell you all later. Are you still in contact with Rebecca tell her too. Better dash. Leaving Aussie 19th March until 4th April. Glad you having so much fun. Much luv as always Mally, Ash and Wesley

My close friends and family call me Moo and i am well known for getting "all fired up". Yeah i know i like to go into detail about my travels but i hope you at least like the photos.
I love my life and the challenges it throws at me. I also love quotes such as "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself"...... full info
