I think you’re closer to the coast than I am … for those of us who can’t get prawns easily, grasshoppers come a close second!

Dams are interesting – I’ve written about a couple actually.
First blog was about the impact of Bujagali dam (and our last white water rafting trip of Bujagali Falls).
My next dam story was all about Isimba dam – the one that goes online near Jinja soon (well, I’m sure you know that!)
I’m actually writing to you from The Haven. Apparently Isimba dam will not affect the view and the wonderful sound of the white water here but let’s see how the project affects tourism in Jinja overall. Tourism – based majorly around rafting – will inevitably be affected.
There’s not much of Owino market left is there? I was fleeced good and proper there once! Still the best place to buy clothes (though Nakawa market is great, far less congested and slightly cheaper).

Hello again. Thanks for your reply.
Hubby is here as advisor addressing certain problems on various dams, currently in Uganda. I get to do a stint here and there, accompanied with writing and painting materials, usually out in the sticks. City life makes a change. We love Owena Market; great for some good quality clothes. Not so good for the cages of roosters.

I’m looking forward to catching up with all your diary blogs as I’ve just joined. Cheers!

Hi Ingrid – webale kusima ‘thanks for the appreciation’ – and for taking the time to write.
Yuck, that smell sounds pretty grim.Kampala’s abattoirs are gruesome and medieval by European standards. I’ve toured a few courtesy of Nature Uganda’s annual vulture count. (I was a vegetarian at the time!) Here’s my story: A disgusting day out.Air pollution in Kampala is bad. I don’t know how it is being addressed to be honest but shall ask a friend who monitors it.
What brings you to KLA?

Hi David, webale kusima 🙂
I’ve been blogging about Uganda for nine years now… do you travel around UG too?

Dear Panta, lovely to read from you.
Thank you for your positive feedback. Uganda is such a beautiful country, little promotion should be needed, but the reality is there is a lot of competition from established destinations and those with big marketing budgets.
I’m very excited that my family are visiting for Christmas this year. In fact we will spend Christmas Day at Sunbird Hill, admiring the fabulous Kibale Forest. While I’m there, I’ll gather more info about the plants for you. I’ll be in touch! Enjoy the holidays. HAPPY CHRISTMAS
