Tuesday August 11: Traveling to QENP

We said our good byes to the CTPH people in Bwindi: Hilary, David, Alex, Joseph, Abraham, the Chef and others. We really enjoyed the Buhoma area and tracking the gorillas and seeing the night nests.


We drove to Queen Elizabeth National Park, crossed the Equator and stopped at Simba Safari Camp, where we waited for Gladys and her 2 boys, Ndhego and Tendo. During their lunch they met with another veterinarian from that area, Dr. Kulale to prepare for our meeting with CTPH at Katwe and Nyakatonzi Human Wildlife Conflict Resolution (HUWI) and Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWS) who mostly disucssed animal disease transmission such as Brucilosis from Cape Buffalo to cattle and vice a versa.


Beth took photos of people so that we can start the process of making identification cards for them, and Sam wrote down the names.


We drove to the Congo border to see it! It was a very busy town there even though the crossing was closed.
