This is all the campsites in Uganda. Not too many home or bush camps, but that has to do with my valuable costumers.

I found a side-road and parked just off the road. My respect for mines have grown a few inches the last few weeks, so dont want to go too much off-road.

Beautiful sunset, just after arriving for wild camp.

We ended up on this spot, after trying three different camps in the area. It couldnt have been more idyllic for us. Belinda and her two companions camped near by and recommended me to Nakuru for servicing Betsy. Good choice!

A little bit boring as it was no hippos luring in the water at night. Nice view though and the camp had everything you wished for, even internet connection.

The second camp in Uganda was located 20 meters off the main road and served us fine. It was a primate research centre who was engadge in recording the wildlife traffic from one forest to the other. The picture shows how difficult remote photography can be.

The weather didnt allow our clothes to dry up, so we had to hang it up again. In the background one of our many neighbours at the camp.

This is camping life at its best. Self contained food, beverages, fire and abundance of wildlife close by makes this really "cool". The river was floating only 10 meters away from our spot and we counted at least 15 hippos playing in the water below.

We even had our own guard tower, which was very convenent now during rainy season. Two armed guards sat there the whole night, so we felt pretty safe (all of us).

A campsite just for us! We were the only guests here and looking around we figured out why. The maintenance was not present and hasn't been for a while. There were two other camps in the area which was better, but we didn't know. Being alone is worth some mess.

We got a key and could use the huts for toilet and shower (not hot though, but refreshing cold). We even got our own sitting arrangement close to the campsite.
