The Boma is very colonial looking. It's enclosed in a compound close by Lake Victoria (all of Entebbe is close by Lake Victoria) behind a steel gate guarded by a man with a rifle. Despite the gun they people here are very friendly and helpful in every way. The Boma is run by an Irish ex-patriot and appears as if it could have been the setting for any number of scenes in the Jewel in the Crown. Breakfast will be served at 7:30 this morning on the veranda overlooking the garden.
Joseph is our driver and guide from Wild Frontiers, and like all of our previous experiences with these folks he is knowledgeable about everything we see from the wildlife to the government to the local shopping areas. Christie had the sole break on one of her hiking boots and will have to get a new pair this morning. She's shopping already, Scott! Our plan is to drop off our boxes of books for the Kasiisi library at the Jane Goodall Institute this morning and then get on the road to Mahingo Lodge (http://www.mihingolodge.com/) for tonight. We are hoping for a late afternoon game walk in Lake Mburo National Park
