David and Gina's first full day in Uganda was spent relaxing in Entebbe by Lake Victoria and the Botanical Gardens are home to a clutch of Vervet Monkeys - who like to be fed
This baby was just two days old
From the sublime quiet of the Botanical Gardens to the manic rush of Kampala's taxi park - needs to be seen to be believed!
The view from the cottage / tree house accommodation in Kibale Forest - the evening sun is catching the density of the forest trees
Here, Gina, Renate and David are with Julius the guide from the community project that manages the Bigodi Swamp near Kibale Forest - this wooden walkway is 300 metres long and was constructed by volunteers from the nearby village. 50% of tourist fees are used to pay for community development projects in the village.

The tree house in Bigodi Swamp provides a great place to view the Forest canopy
Also a good place to relax and have a laugh!
Mother and baby black and white Colobus monkeys at Bigodi
Here's a croc with his gob open at the Kazinga Channel which runs between Lake Edward and Lake George in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda. The croc's gob stayed open for all the time we were watching - at least five minutes! 
A gorgeous Yellow-billed Stork at Kazinga Channel
Hippos wallowing in "glorious mud" in the Kazinga Channel
This is one seriously proud African Fish Eagle! . .
Moments later, he or she is flying over our heads with a catfish in its claw . . freshly caught!
The very graceful Ugandan Kob antelope in Queen Elizabeth National Park
Here are buffalos, Ugandan Kobs and Egyptian Geese
The wide open landscape of the Queen Elizabeth Park savannah with the Rwenzori Mountains behind - marking the edge of the western Rift Valley and the border with the Congo
Finally, just as breakfast was calling this lazy lion was spotted chilling in a tree - he was 200 to 250 metres away but our guide's amazing eye-sight spotted him
