In this episode we participate in what many said was the highlight of their tour through Africa – trekking in to a national park to get up close to gorillas. We felt so lucky to see this family interact, particularly the youngsters who were extremely rambunctious! We can all highly recommend this experience if you ever get the chance!

Here Comes The Planet 61 – Uganda 03
We spend some time at Lake Bunyonyi visiting the local “crazy old lady”, as well as the children at the Little Angels school, where the girls give a positively roaring rendition of “Old McDonald” and Pete looks to be right at home with all the dancing.

Yes, I am still posting videos from our trip in 2013. I have many, many more still to go, which can be a bit daunting at times, plus since so much time has passed between then and now, not as many people are watching them. So while the blog is a bit more active over the next few months, it seems like a good time to make a concerted effort to work on them. It’s my way of contributing from home! I’ll be posting them up until I depart, at which point I’ll be filming new episodes. Apologies for the jumbled chronology, but I’m sure you’ll all get by. Maybe I’ll post them up on Thursdays? #throwbackthursday! ;D
Here Comes The Planet 60 – Uganda 02
Continuing through Uganda, we head to Murchison Falls National Park to go Chimpanzee trekking in Budongo Forest, and for a fantastic wildlife cruise down the river Nile.
Here Comes The Planet 59 – Uganda 01
As we continue our overland trek in East Africa and cross in to Uganda, our first order of business is a highly important and very public game of mini golf which requires us to dodge quad bikes… but not before we learn about the importance of breastfeeding through the medium of dance.
Also, our truck-mate Deb gets a new ‘do courtesy of the girls.
Here Comes The Planet 58 – Kenya 04
Yes yes, I know. Too long between videos. I can promise it won’t take as long for the next one, but don’t expect it to be a regular thing! They’ll be done when they get done.
This episode is mostly dedicated to the boggy inefficiency of Kenyan drivers in Lake Nakuru.
Also, a rhino marks his territory. Definitively.
