In the past i wasn’t so much a traveler. It seemed really ridiculous when I woke up one day and told my husband it was time we took some time off our entire daily schedule, the kids and go have some time off to find our selves try to be young again.

For about a year I had been thinking of travelling to Africa. My husband found it ridiculous that out of the countries in the world I would pick Africa and thought I was joking but I was damm serious about it. I was looking for a very adventurous experience that will change our lives and we would live to tell about it. I felt like it was such a dare to go to Africa………………

It was at 10:00pm when our air plane landed at Entebbe airport. With all the anxiety, my husband trying to calm me down in vein. I didn’t know what to expect. We had booked out Uganda safari through a local tour company, Eco Safaris Uganda, we would have a perfect trip to Uganda. And indeed will be very adventurous as what we expected. We had a cab ready to pick us up at the airport, to a hotel in Entebbe, the same area as the airport. As nice as the place was, as was so anxious about the next day since out safari guide had informed us that we shall begin our safari very early in the morning by 17:30 am we had to be ready.

I felt at peace travelling through the rolling hills of Uganda country side, terraced landscapes of the region, seeing the long horned Ankole cattle as we headed to Bwindi impenetrable National park. All time long my hands were clung very tightly to my husbands’.

After a hot African breakfast, at a gorilla lodge in Bwindi national park, we headed for the real adventure of gorilla tracking. For days I had kept imagining what the real encounter would be! We were dresses for the hunt, we had carried packed lunch, drinking water and had worn comfortable suitable for steep muddy slopes.

I can never forget the actual encounter!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing and crazy. I laughed out loud, then I bust and cried. It was such an emotional experience. I watched the gorillas feed, grooming and resting as the youngsters frolic and swing from vines in a delightfully playful display. They behave just like human beings. The almost walk like us, and relate like human beings.

I can never forget this experience. It was amazing. If anyone is looking for emotional life changing adventure try going for a Uganda safaris.
