Roger told us about another day trip he’d been on: counting the vultures at the main city abattoir near Luzira. “I’ve never seen anything like it” he said. “Hundreds of sheep and goat heads in a pile.” […]

lol Ronnie

Birders get asked the funniest questions – one time I was with Nature Uganda in the grounds of Makerere University. The guard was very suspicious of us and our binoculars. “You are spies! You can see up to Jinja!” he said.

Visiting an abattoir in Kampala is like being on the set of the worst horror movie imaginable. You might call it morbid curiosity that drove this once-vegetarian to visit!
But you know me, I love birds and that was the attraction: trying to see how many vultures we could count…

I must have read it before. My comment is that you make it interesting and fun! Can’t say it is on my bucket list though. As a vegetarian you were very brave to set foot (squish) in the place. May be now you would find it easier??! ho ho!!
