I had a long weekend and I needed to make a border run to renew my visa, so I hopped a flight to Uganda. The trip was highly successful—I riverboarded the Nile through 8 class IV & V rapids, saw some new birds, and loved Uganda so much, I plan to return! Trip list: Black-and-white-casqued Hornbill, Pink-backed Pelican, African Darter, Malachite Kingfisher, Eastern Grey Plantain-eater, Speckled Pigeon, Purple Starling, African Yellow White-eye, Common Squacco Heron, Woodland Kingfisher, African Openbill, Giant Kingfisher, Olive-bellied Sunbird, Red-chested Sunbird, Ross’s Turaco, Rock Pratincole, African Jacana.
