Lots and lots of hills, all cultivated but going on for miles and miles. Just over one was a large lake, Lake Bunyoni, where a few of us would hire a dugout canoe, paddle to the middle and have a swim, avoiding all signs of reeds and the dreaded bilharzia. Everything had to be haggled for even the hire of the canoe. After a year there and knowing most of the market traders by name it was still haggle and barter for a good five minutes or more before each purchase. I enjoyed this, as it is always a bit of a laugh, everyone saying the most outrageous thing to try and get the price lower.
Tourists take note.
Most tourists or travellers came through Kabale on their way to see the gorillas either in Zaire or Uganda. It s quite expensive now, but I reckon well worth the effort. As opposed to the Zaire experience, seeing the Ugandan gorilla requires a lot of effort and the viewing is not normally as close and spectacular. Well this is just opinions as I thought they were fantastic, with fantastic setting and totally exhausting day. If you ve seen Gorillas in the Mist then you ve seen Buhoma, where these gorillas are.
