On the drive down to
the Ishasha section of the park we gave a life to some old soldier who was
heading to the fishing village of Rwenshama. We agreed to drop him there
despite it being a little out of the way. The village was a total dump: Most of
the men were drunk, there was rubbish everywhere and everything was
dilapidated. As we drove in we saw 5 mzungus and we thought they were probably
there on medical placement so I persuaded Chrissie to give a solar pitch as
they would potentially be great customers ....
‘No’ they said ‘we are only here for the day, we heard there
was good fish and chips here!!!!’ They never did ask us what we were doing
selling solar in this god forsaken place! So we dropped off our soldier and he
left behind all his condoms in the car!!
Our campsite at Ishasha was fantastic. It was on the river,
we sat in Uganda and the opposite bank was the Congo! There were two pods of
hippo who wallowed around in the water and gave us great entertainment. The
plains in the Ishasha section were again stunning, everything had babies, we
saw the tree climbing lions (a bit far a way so no great pics of them), we saw
a male and female lion and lioness who were right by the road, we did plenty of
solar pitches and relaxed a lot.
