In reply to Lizzie. When I have to laugh at the craziness of it all - I mean, lying in bed listening to chimpanzees? Bats flying in and out of my house? Being woken up by elephants knocking down trees?! It's nuts, innit!

I love the way you make the interviews fun with little giggles. The background sounds are delicious. Close your eyes and we are in the forest with you!

In reply to Ingrid Baluchi.

Dear Ingrid, how lovely to hear from you. It’s been a while!
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen – and to share your impressions.
One of the things I’m really enjoying about the podcast is getting a glimpse into other people’s lives. Thanks for sharing your memories.
It’s interesting how often we hear African Greys in Kampala. It doesn’t necessarily mean there are a lot of them, only that they are LOUD!
One of the next episodes is all about African grey parrots. We have a number of parrot monitoring programmes in Kibale Forest. I’m sure you’ll enjoy that episode, with Rowan Martin who heads the Africa programme for the World Parrot Trust and parrot-lover Nick Byaba, one of the site guides at Sunbird Hill.

I’ve just started listening to your podcasts — (Episode 1) — and look forward to catching up on all the others, Charlotte. Fascinating. You’re as good and as professional with the spoken word as you are with writing, and your enthusiasm is infectious.
Coming from a couple of dam sites further up country, we used to stay in Kampala (Naguru), and I will never forget the joyful screech of African Greys as they circled around our hill. My Dad had a part-time-caged (featherless) African Grey, so seeing the freedom of these wild birds was something amazing, as, too, all the other birds living in this amazingly vibrant city.
Thanks for putting in the time and effort, helping us to learn and appreciate so many aspects of Uganda.

In reply to Alan.

Thanks for tuning in Alan!
As you heard in my conversation with Rob Walker, I always say people “like us stay in UG – or we come back!” So excited for you all to be revisiting the Pearl of Africa this summer. I really enjoyed organising your trip with you. Can’t wait to hear all about it. Lots of love from the forest x

Having spent time in Uganda myself, I’ve been really enjoyed your podcasts in recent days. You’ve got a really natural way of talking and the guests you’ve had on have been great - I particularly enjoyed hearing Rob Walker who was so passionate about Uganda. It makes me really excited for our forthcoming trip back to Uganda. Keep it up!!
