Wayne Munns and Carlos Pedro shared their 2012 Uganda Birding and Mountain Gorilla Trekking experiences with an attentive audience of 23 people. They showed us wonderful photos of birds (but not all of the 512 (!) species they saw there), gorillas, local people and places as they took us along their travel route around Uganda. Both being highly experienced international travelers, they had arranged the trip themselves and shared some of their planning information, sources and tips with us, including two important resources – The Natural History Book Service http://www.nhbs.com/ , and Cloudbirders http://www.cloudbirders.com/ . The multitude, diversity and beauty of birds amazed us and it was exciting to see pictures of a gorilla troop at home and munching on leaves in a thicket of nettles, a uniquely thrilling experience for Carlos and Wayne. Thanks to both for sharing their Uganda adventures with us.
