The visit to Mabira Forest.
We organized to visit Mabira Forest in Uganda with my Australian friend Mike Doepel who is a geologist, visiting old geological sites which was used by the British in the colonial days. we got some boys living near the forest who know every corner of the forest. they told us it will takes us like one hour to the point of interest.
We walked for three hours in the thick forest with no clear paths, in fact we were just creating new paths in some areas. being a rainy forest, it started raining heavily and we had no any rain gear because we were told it will be few minutes to the point and we don't need all that. we all got socked.
What i did not know was that when it rains, all the puff adders come close to the small trails to trap rats and other pray which come on surface when it rains. they were well camouflaged, when you are not a forest expert, you cannot see them. they will strike and within few minutes you will be dead, a very poisonous snake.
We got four big puff adders on the way. but we were lucky to be with someone very experienced with the forest who saved us from the dangerous serpent. They wanted to kill them, then i told them just put then away and give them a chance to live. they were not happy with me. they did not know that am in tourism and conservation in my priority in tourism. so i saved their lives and we were lucky that no one of our team was beaten. When we got out of the forest, i told my friend that i will never enter that forest again without proper gears.
The trip was not successful because my friend did not get what he expected. The geological survey in Entebbe need to update their data for mineralization in Uganda. most of the coordinates given were plotted 70 years old. so style up.

Top 17 Safari
Experiences in Southern Africa
Victoria Falls –
The largest, most beautiful and simply the greatest waterfall in the World.
Etosha National Park
– There are few places in southern Africa that can compete with the wildlife
prospects of extraordinary Etosha National Park
Fish River Canyon
– The enormous gash in the surface of the Planet in the southern Namibia is an
almost implausible landscape.
Sossusvlei – The
towering red dunes of Sossusvlei consist of incredibly fine sand that feels
soft when it falls through your fingers and changes hue with the light.
Okavango Delta –
The Okavango Delta in Botswana is an astonishing, beautiful and wild place.
Chobe National Park
– Botswana’s Chobe National Park ranks among the elite of African safari
destinations.
Lessons in History
– The impact of apartheid on present day South Africa is impossible to measure
as it informs so much of daily life. The apartheid museum etc.
Quirimbas Archipelago
– Idyllic island strewn amid azure seas, dense mangrove channels opening onto
pristine patches of soft, white sand, dhows silhouetted against the horizon and
magical Ibo Island, with its silversmiths, fort and crumbling mansions – the
remote Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique is a time and place set apart,
accessed with difficulty, and invariably left behind with regret.
Mozambique Island
– There are no crowds and few vehicles, but Mozambique Island is hardly silent.
South Luangwa
National Park - Stroll single file
through Zambia’s South Luangwa National park with a rifle-carrying scout in the
lead, no 4WD engine sounds, no obstructions sight lines and no barriers between
you and the wildlife, both predators and prey.
Kgalagadi
Transfrontiers – Kgalagadi covers almost 40.00 sq. km of raw Kalahari in
the Northern Cape and Botswana, roamed by some 2000 predators.
The Drakensberg –
Majestic, stunning and mysterious, the mountains and surrounds of the World
Heritage-listed uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park in South Africa are among the
country’s most awe-inspiring landscape.
Lesotho Lodge Living
– There are few places where lodge accommodation and village experiences
are integrated. A trip to Semonkong, Malealea, Roma and Ramabanta in Lesotho
not only provides you with opportunity to stay in historic buildings-generally,
former trading posts – but also offers chances to mingle with locals head off
on guided pony treks and enjoy village life at Shebeen.
Majete Wildlife
Reserve – Deep in the heartland of southern Malawi lies one of the
country’s most exciting reserves, thanks to its massively re-invigorated
wildlife population, fenced perimeter finessed infrastructure and a determined
antipoaching program.
Mkhaya Game Reserve
– Top of the conservation pops, Swaziland’s stunning Mkhaya private reserve was
established in 1979 to save the pure Nguni breed of cattle from extinction.
Lake Malawi – The
emerald jewel in Malawi’s crown is undoubted its interior sea, Lake Malawi
fringed by golden beaches, the calendar lake – so called because it measures
365 miles long and 52 miles wide – offers travellers an underwater palace to
swim among brilliant coloured cichid fish and desert islands to escape to.
Great Zimbabwe –
Clambers around boulders, step past teetering rocks, slip through narrow stone
crevices and take in the stunning views as explore the architectural feat that
is Great Zimbabwe.
