By Scott McMillan Uganda is home to one of the most beautifully striped of beasts, the zebra. Lions love to hunt them and people love to see them. Whatever the case, no classic African safari experience is complete without having seen the black and white striped zebra galloping through the grasslands. Originally, Uganda had thousands of zebra roaming central and northern Uganda. But during the second half of the last century, more than 90% of them were killed by man. Uganda used to have the largest population of hoof stock species in all of Africa. More |
| Safari Review: -The River Nile Part 4 | |
 |
By Peter Knight (All Terrain Adventures) The White Nile is a large resource for Uganda providing us with; water to drink, water to irrigate, hydro-electric power, a physical boundary between kingdoms, fish and other foodstuffs, a transport medium, scenic beauty, focus for tourism, and most importantly an outlet for Lake Victoria. But if for instance, the Nile drained from the south of Lake Victoria, Uganda would survive. The Nile becomes increasingly important the farther north it flows into Sudan and Egypt. It brings water to these regions which lie in Earth’s greatest desert, the Sahara. In spite of its great length and large drainage basin (3,000,000 square kilometres or about 10% of Africa), it carries relatively little water. More |
| Accommodation Review : Primate Lodge | |
 |
Review by The Eye. Primate Lodge is situated in Kibale National Park, it
was originally owned and operated by the Uganda
Wildlife Authority but in July 2007 it changed hands
and the lodge is now operated by Great Lake Safaris
in Kampala. The lodge has eight luxury tents that can sleep two
people per tent – each guest with their own three
quarter bed – there are no double or king size beds
in the tents. Each luxury tent is tastefully furnished
with its own bathroom with flushing toilet, spacious
shower (because of the distance the water has to
travel to get to the tents, the water pressure is not
great but it is manageable) and a wash basin. More |

Review by The Eye. The 7 Hills Revolving Restaurant at the Golf Course
Hotel in Kampala is the subject of this month’s review.
The restaurant opened around the time of CHOGM
and the restaurant is worth a visit, even if only to enjoy
a sundowner while enjoying the best panoramic view
of Kampala’s city. On arrival, the hotel staff welcomed us and showed
us to the lift that would take us to the revolving
restaurant - we were all really excited as we had heard
so much about 7 Hills that we did not really know
what to expect. The restaurant was not as crowded |
| Alternative Health Review : Colour Therapy | |
 |
Colour is part of our everyday lives. From the clothes
we wear to the food we eat, to the life that surrounds
us at any time. Some of us are attracted to specific
colours, others don’t like certain colour(s) at all. Why?
Well, there is much more to colour than roses are red
and violets are blue... |
