Divide and Conquer

It's about the chimps! We don't have enough time to do it all, and the time to fly home is fast approaching.

Annie and Josh have landed near Kampala at the N'Gamba Island chimp facility, and Janine has gone north to the source of the Nile river. Annie and Josh travel home the next day. Safe travels, you two!

Both facilities are managed by Cam Macleay in Uganda, who owns the “Adrift” whitewater rafting company in Jinja. Janine will be staying at his base camp along the Nile banks for a week and braving the white water to get to Kalagala Island.

Kalagala Island (actually two islands) is the newest facility for abandoned chimps whose parents have been lost to poachers or as casualties of the bush meat trade. We are looking forward to learning about how orphaned chimps are cared for.

It is Easter here, so people celebrate by relaxing the week before and the few days after. That means everything basically stops moving. It's really hit and miss with supplies and chapati. It's a good time to catch up on journals and have a look at the photos so far.

What's chapati? Ugandan comfort food--a round, puffy tortilla made from millet flour and lots of oil and salt, grilled over an open flame. It's completely addictive and incredibly yummy, especially when made in front of you and served warm. It tastes alot like indian naan and sells for a few cents each. Hmmm.
