Norman Carr Safaris looked after us both wonderfully and it was a real pleasure to be in their company. Everyone we met remarked “Oh you are the guys staying a week in each camp”, and that was an excellent choice because we got to know the camp staff both in front and those behind the scenes, and it certainly added to our enjoyment of the whole experience. We especially enjoyed the company of the guides, Innocence Shaddy and Aubrey, the scouts and Teresa, Monica, Lucinda and Pam .
We met several other guests who were very impressed with our itinerary and so we did pass on World Wildlife details to them. Must just mention some of the highlights and that was the evening with Aubrey as we took part and witnessed the Kakuli pride hunting and making a kill of a Puku and watching the male and five cubs devour it with the unforgettable sounds, the camp out with David Wilson although we did not sleep a wink even though Jeanette insists I was snoring. It was certainly the best steak we have ever eaten and the beer was ice cold, and dinner one evening in the company of Pam and Jeff , two chaps from South America and other guests. We have never laughed so much.

While enjoying holidays like this why not time to think the animals such as the gorillas. There are only around 750 mountain gorillas left in the world and with none of these magnificent animals on captivity there threat of extinction is great. The majority of these gorillas live in the Bwindi National Forest which has fallen prey geo-political turmoil in the region (the park is surrounded by Rwanda, Uganda, and the Republic of Congo)as well as poachers.This alongside Africa’s ever growing population threaten to destroy not just the gorillas' habitat but also the gorillas themselves. With this in mind EDUN LIVE and VBS with camera and curiosity in hand made the journey and shot the story. After all, if we can't save the closest evolutionary ancestor we humans have, what does that say about our own future?
