Easter in Uganda

I know Easter is already a thing of the past, but this isn’t going to be an Easter post exactly 😉 It just so happened that we decided to get out of Rwanda and explore the neighbouring Uganda for the long Easter weekend. And when we got back, it took me a while to return to the world of internet after a nice break from constant WiFi, hence the delay in telling you how it was! 🙂

Last Sunday in Pilanesberg National Park

Last weekend I went to South Africa to attend a course. It was taking place during this week but I’d decided to go a couple of days earlier to see old friends and do some shopping. The friends I stayed with had already made a plan to go to Pilanesberg on Sunday, and since they had space in their car, I was able to join them. I was superhappy as it’s my favourite park in South Africa 🙂 

Elephants of Chobe National Park

I adore elephants. They’re my favourite animals I think, and I find their intelligence and social skills absolutely fascinating. One of the best places in Africa to see a lot of these wonderful animals is Chobe National Park in Botswana.

A fiery weekend in Akagera National Park

A week and a half ago we decided to dig out our tent and go to Akagera National Park in the east of Rwanda for a long weekend (15th August was a holiday). We loved camping in South African parks and nature reserves, and have been missing it since leaving the country in December last year. Akagera is about 2.5 hours’ drive from Kigali so perfect for a weekend away to chill close to nature. It turned out more adventurous than expected though, and not necessarily in a good way…
